dim spc as int = (panel.width - (imgv1.width + imgv2.width + imgv3.width)) / 4

imgv1.left = spc
imgv2.left = imgv1.left + imgv1.width + spc
imgv3.left = imgv2.left + imgv2.width + spc

Warning this is not tested, but I do similar positioning all the time.
You can do something similar to position the top of each imageview.

Update:
Whoops, I just noticed you have three panels to center horizontally.
Substitute panelN for imgvN above and activity.width for panel.width.
