This is known issue.
There is currently no way how to hide windows start button on Windows 11.

You should adjust your custom button image by shifting it few pixels to the right (if you want to use left aligned taskbar).
Or you can use Aero button style that adjusts itself properly.

Alternatively, you can use the Windows 10 taskbar (for example with ExplorerPatcher). This will most likely fix the issue.

What exactly is supposed to help with hiding original Start button?
I don't see anything related in the article you have mentioned.

I wasn't sure if it would help with this/similar issue and figured that it wouldn't hurt to let you know of that link.

My apologies boss... 💯
