Try in another way, instead to reduce the white space, try to increase the space for messages:

```
.topic-body {
  min-width: 66%; 
}

```

I don’t recommend to use more than 70% otherwise you need to move on the right the timeline too.  
If you want you can try btw.

The amount of white space on the right (or left) depends from screens resolution.
