The weather conditions were reported as calm winds with 1 statute mile of visibility. The approach was flown with autopilot engaged until 300 ft. once disengaged, the pf made a left roll input to line the aircraft with the runway centerline. However, the aircraft overshot the centerline and landed on the left side of the runway. At the initial touchdown, per company flight data monitoring (fdm) the pf added right rudder with the ailerons in a neutral position, in an attempt to correct to the centerline. The main landing gear touched down on runway 07R for approximately 4 seconds, then the flight crew initiated a go-around. The aircraft reached a maximum roll to the right of 8.09 degrees at a pitch of 5.62 degrees, signifying the point of the pod strike.
