How to restructure the line with proper alignment in shell script

I am trying to get the Software Information from Red Hat. As far as I have tried, 

rpm -qi <softwarename>

provides the enough information Software Information

from the above information, I do require Name, Version, Release, Vendor, Build Date, & Install Date.

I could able to get the Name Version Release & Install Date by using the following command.(here I have grepped only name and version for simplicity)

rpm -qi perl-Git | grep -E '^Name      :|^Version     :' | awk -F 'Relocations:|Vendor:' '{print $1}'

I have no clue to get the Right side of the Information, since I could not able to find a split string between two fields. Any suggestions ??

Use --queryformat

$ rpm -q --queryformat "%{NAME}\n%{VERSION}\n%{RELEASE}\n%{VENDOR}\n%{BUILDTIME}\n%{INSTALLTIME}\n" perl-Git
perl-Git
2.8.0
1.WANdisco.308
(none)
1459260423
1493311622

Then you can print it how you like, and parse it how you like.
