how to align left Tab on DefaulfTabController?

Question

How to align left Tabs?

DefaultTabController(
      length: 2,
      child: Scaffold(
        appBar: AppBar(
          title: Row(
            children: <Widget>[
              ...
            ],
          ),
          actions: <Widget>[
            ...
          ],
          bottom: TabBar(
              isScrollable: true,
              tabs: [
                Tab(text: 'Chat'),
                Tab(child: Row(
                  children: <Widget>[
                   ...
                  ],
                )),
              ]
          ),
        ),
      ),
    );

I tried FlexibleSpace too. It's align left, but I need to add TabBar on bottom

You can copy paste run full code below
You can use PreferredSize and Align
code snippet

appBar: AppBar(
        title: Text(widget.title),
        bottom: PreferredSize(
          preferredSize: const Size.fromHeight(20.0),
          child: Align(
            alignment: Alignment.centerLeft,
            child: Container(
              width: MediaQuery.of(context).size.width / 2,
              child: TabBar(
                isScrollable: true,
                controller: _tabController,
                tabs: [
                  Tab(text: 'Tab 1'),
                  Tab(text: 'Tab 2'),
                  Tab(text: 'Tab 3'),
                  Tab(text: 'Tab 4'),
                  Tab(text: 'Tab 5'),
                ],
              ),
            ),
