The room is 23' long by 16' wide & the speakers are pulled more than 1/2 way into the room.The speakers are about 3' from the side walls.I may try moving them 1' closer together and see if it fills in the center stage at seating locations on the sofa that are not in the center sweet spot.

...the speakers are pulled more than 1/2 way into the room.
nulls typically exist near the middle of rooms. My 26x16 area is sized similarly to yours. I placed my stats about 8' out from wall and listening position is at the other approximate third of the room. This I did using measurements for the most linear bass response.
I agree with others that perhaps you might need diffusion behind the speakers and more toe in for optimum imaging.
So you have the speakers on the long wall?
If so, you should start with trying the speakers with tweeters out and adjust toe in, starting with the speakers flat.
Do you have any treatments on the back wall? If not, start by trying out a fabric covered sofa cushion behind you.
Given sufficient spacing from the front wall, there should be a position which provides a rather wide sweet spot sufficient for a 3 seat sofa where the center position is "perfect" and the side seats having more diffuse imaging and more obvious individual speaker output, but not as bad as you describe.
Long wall? Wow, those must be the long-rumored 1.7i_Landscape! LOL
