If we find a significant amount more stuff that is larger or smaller than us on the scale, that would shift the entire scale in one direction or the other, putting something else at the center.
You are not interpreting it correctly. Its not the amount of stuff. It is size. To make the scale shift you would either need to increase the size of the observable universe or decrease the size of the planck length. You would need to make one end of the ruler longer so to speak.
