Does something like this help?

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
* Align tables on the page

Here is a table on the left side:

#+LATEX: \noindent
#+ATTR_LATEX: :center nil
| a | b | c |
|---+---+---|
| 1 | 2 | 3 |
| 4 | 5 | 6 |
#+LATEX: \hfill

The noindent just gets rid of the indentation of the first line of a paragraph
which in this case is the table. The hfill adds infinite stretch after the table,
so it pushes the table to the left.

Here is a centered table:

| a | b | c |
|---+---+---|
| 1 | 2 | 3 |
| 4 | 5 | 6 |

And here's a table on the right side:

#+LATEX: \hfill
#+ATTR_LATEX: :center nil
| a | b | c |
|---+---+---|
| 1 | 2 | 3 |
| 4 | 5 | 6 |

Here the hfill adds infinite stretch before the table, so it pushes the table to the right.
