How do I left align components in GridBagLayout?

enter image description here

Each row in the above pic, is custom component that uses gridbaglayout for laying components. I am trying to avoid that space before the button "Abc", I want it completely pushed to the left hand side. How do I achieve this using gridbaglayout constraints?

EDIT Adding Source code.

        gridBagConstraints = new GridBagConstraints();
        gridBagConstraints.gridx = 0;
        gridBagConstraints.gridy = 0;
        gridBagConstraints.fill = GridBagConstraints.NONE;
        gridBagConstraints.insets =  new Insets(11,0,0,0);
        add(abcButton,gridBagConstraints);
            gridBagConstraints = new GridBagConstraints();
        gridBagConstraints.gridx = 1;
        gridBagConstraints.gridy = 0;
        gridBagConstraints.fill = GridBagConstraints.NONE;
        gridBagConstraints.insets = new Insets(20, 10, 0, 0);
        add(comp1,gridBagConstraints);
        gridBagConstraints = new GridBagConstraints();
        gridBagConstraints.gridx = 2;
        gridBagConstraints.gridy = 0;
        gridBagConstraints.fill = GridBagConstraints.NONE;
        gridBagConstraints.insets = new Insets(20, 35, 0, 0);
        add(comp2, gridBagConstraints);
        gridBagConstraints = new GridBagConstraints();
        gridBagConstraints.gridx = 3;
        gridBagConstraints.gridy = 0;
        gridBagConstraints.ipadx = 120;
        gridBagConstraints.ipady = 3;
        gridBagConstraints.fill = GridBagConstraints.NONE;
        gridBagConstraints.insets = new Insets(11,20, 0, 0);
        add(txtField1, gridBagConstraints);
    btnTxtField1.setMargin(new Insets(2, 1, 2, 1));
        gridBagConstraints = new GridBagConstraints();
        gridBagConstraints.gridx = 4;
        gridBagConstraints.gridy = 0;
        gridBagConstraints.ipadx = 0;
        gridBagConstraints.fill = GridBagConstraints.NONE;
        gridBagConstraints.insets = new Insets(11, 0, 0, 0);
        add(btnTxtField1, gridBagConstraints);
    gridBagConstraints = new GridBagConstraints();
    gridBagConstraints.gridx = 5;
    gridBagConstraints.gridy = 0;
    gridBagConstraints.ipadx = 120;
    gridBagConstraints.ipady = 3;
    gridBagConstraints.fill = GridBagConstraints.NONE;
    gridBagConstraints.insets = new Insets(11, 0, 0, 0);
    add(txtField2, gridBagConstraints);
    gridBagConstraints = new GridBagConstraints();
    gridBagConstraints.gridx = 6;
    gridBagConstraints.gridy = 0;
    gridBagConstraints.ipadx = 0;
    gridBagConstraints.fill = GridBagConstraints.NONE;
    gridBagConstraints.insets = new Insets(11, 0, 0, 0);
    add(btnTxtField2, gridBagConstraints);

You have to set an anchor to GridBagConstraints.NORTHWEST or something like this....

constraints.anchor = GridBagConstraints.WEST;
