Test file with applied alignments

Your tries mix-up several distinct settings.

If you click into the text so that you have a cursor, you will see the outline
of a rectangle. That is the area, where text can be positioned. The menu item
"Text..." provides the settings "Spacing to border". They determine the
distances of this theoretical text area from the edges of the shape.

Now think of a rectangle around your text. The settings in "Text Anchor"
determine where this rectangle is placed inside the above mentioned area.

If the option "Full width" is checked, this current-text-rectangle has the same
width as the theoretical text area. Then 'left' or 'right' makes no sense and
therefore the UI only provides the three center options. If the option "Full
width" is not checked, the current-text-rectangle is a tight rectangle around
the text. That means, that it is as wide as the longest line. In that case all
nine positions are possible.

Inside the current-text-rectangle the settings of the paragraph determine the
alignment of the paragraph. Click into the text so that you have a cursor,
which means, the shape is in text edit mode. Now you can use the toolbar icons
to change the alignment of the paragraph, but only inside the above mentioned
'current-text-rectangle'.

The shape style provides only an initial setting for all paragraphs together.
If you want different alignment of paragraphs in the same shape, you have to
apply the alignment directly to the paragraph.
