Android TextView Left Gravity Problem in an Item XML for RecyclerView

I have an RecyclerViewAdapter and I’m preparing an item xml to display my all items as list.

I’ve written my xml like this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<androidx.constraintlayout.widget.ConstraintLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
    xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
    android:id="@+id/constraintLayoutAutoCompleteTextView"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:visibility="visible"
    android:background="@drawable/bg_film_add_recycler_view">

    <TextView
        android:id="@+id/textViewFilmName"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:clickable="false"
        android:textSize="16sp"
        android:textColor="@color/figma_text_color_dark"
        android:fontFamily="@font/inter500_regular"
        app:layout_constraintBottom_toBottomOf="@id/imageViewFilmLogo"
        app:layout_constraintEnd_toEndOf="parent"
        app:layout_constraintStart_toEndOf="@id/imageViewFilmLogo"
        app:layout_constraintTop_toTopOf="@id/imageViewFilmLogo"
        tools:text="MyFilm">
    </TextView>


    <ImageView
        android:id="@+id/imageViewFilmLogo"
        android:layout_width="80dp"
        android:layout_height="30dp"
        android:layout_marginStart="30dp"
        android:layout_marginVertical="10dp"
        app:layout_constraintStart_toStartOf="parent"
        app:layout_constraintTop_toTopOf="parent"
        app:layout_constraintBottom_toBottomOf="parent">
    </ImageView>


</androidx.constraintlayout.widget.ConstraintLayout>

As result of this, I see my RecyclerView like this (red ones are textviews, green ones are imageviews):

As you see, the textviews looks like centered in specific area. But I want aligned to left like this:

I tried to add android:gravity="left" but it doesn’t work, what is the problem? can you help me please?

If possible, can you equilaze the distances between "left edge of layout – imageview" and "imageview – left edge of textview"
