I want to build a simple infobar using conky. Take the following example:

dropbox zotero
should be aligned to the left.
SSID: Hier Volume...
should be aligned to the right.
Currently I am working with {offset 800}
to move the second output to the right. However, this is very inflexible when the right output changes. Sometimes it exceeds my screen.
.conkyrc
:
background yes
use_xft yes
xftfont Noto Sans:size=10
xftalpha 1
update_interval 1
total_run_times 0
# Run in own window
own_window yes
own_window_transparent yes
own_window_type desktop
# Don't show in window lists and on all desktops
own_window_hints undecorated,below,sticky,skip_taskbar,skip_pager
own_window_colour white
double_buffer yes
draw_shades no
draw_outline no
draw_borders no
draw_graph_borders no
default_color black
alignment tl
maximum_width 1280
minimum_size 1280
gap_x 0
gap_y 2
no_buffers yes
uppercase no
cpu_avg_samples 2
override_utf8_locale no
