I hope this helps. Its a convenient place to be despite what it looks in the pic.
The 38t chainring will mess your chainline. The smallest chainring that has a decent offset is 42t. However, it is possible to fit a suitable spacer on the inner side of the freehub and take out one of the smallest sprockets of the cassette. In this way you will bring the biggest sprocket one position out and loose one gear.
I’ve not received it yet, but it looks to me as if this set up will give a very similar chainline to the Bafang supplied chainring:

I’ll let you know when it arrives.
