I was trying for the first time shooting with film and this picture was the keeper :)
Another series of macro pictures
Very late answer but I hope is still helpful. I use capture one and Photoshop. On capture one I brought down the shadows quite a bit and controlled the white balanced then on Photoshop I did a levels correction (to adjust what’s the brightest area and what’s the darkest area) and the final touch was adding an overelayed black and white filter where I manually adjust reds, yellows and greens to add contrast to the picture.
Done with a Laowa 100mm macro
A macro shot of a wee flower hanging on a livingroom plant.
I was very impressed by those shapes and lines.
Macro photography of a single flower.
The plant is called Hoya Carnosa.

Can you find the tiny worm?
This nice looking mushroom was on a garden chair and loved the contrast and shapes in the frame.
Heavily cropped because I don't have a macro lens :)
I think you are searching for the One Shot focus mode. In that way it doesn’t matter where you set your focus point (in this case the center) it should stay there and focus every time you press the shooter button. Like other comment said it, there is more “advanced” ways to personalise the way autofocus works but this should solve your problem for the moment :)
This article explains the focus modes in a easy enough way:

I hope it helps.
