  Comments:
Reverso examples are almost all "alignment" (I agree with "justification" though as well) .
See comments on センター揃え

This is the odd-man-out on [vs]. Left align appears to be 左揃えにして.  n-grams do show 位置揃えされた

Absent rationale, I'm going to prefer the voiced reading, which appears to be the most common across the board.  The real question for learners is: "is there actually a justification for why top-aligned is voiced, and left-aligned is not, but right is, but bottom isn't?".   I am *guessing* any given speaker probably voices the whole set consistently.  I know there are some "grandfathered" terms that were common in the past and "officially" are not voiced.  But it seems like newly popularized terms (via computing) would lean toward voiceing...

On twitter, 位置ぞろえ beats 位置そろえ hands down.
