The LRF reticle is never perfectly centered, if your laser rangefinder is a built-in type. External LRFs are different.
These built-in rangefinders are welded into/onto the housing of the device. The manufacturer aligns it as centered as possible in the factory. But imagine that no matter how accurately you mount any scope on your rifle, you still have to do the zeroing. Because there is always a small margin of error at a couple of hundred meters/yards. Also, that’s why the LRF reticle is not perfectly in the middle of the screen. In the case of a handheld device, we are ready with this question here.
As for a rifle scope however there is more. As you can see below, the aiming reticle is perfectly centered out of the box and the LRF reticle is somewhere around it. But when you do the zeroing, you are altering the aiming reticle position. As the LRF reticle is fixed, the aiming reticle is moving, the position of the two reticles to each other will change after zeroing. In rare cases, it can happen that they will be perfectly aligned, but it is just a coincidence.
But if you’ll get weird, extreme LRF-reticle positions after zeroing, you have to double-check your scope mount because it might not be perfectly mounted.
