It's been broken for months, unfortunately. I've tried to use it several
times myself.

FAQ alert! (Thanks for trying to check the archives; if this were in the
FAQ or archives, as it should be, you would have found it. We need a FAQ
maintainer.)

gtk_label_set_justify() sets the position of multiple lines of text in the
label with respect to each other. That is,

 foo bar bar
 bar foo

 foo bar bar
   bar foo

 foo bar bar
     bar foo

gtk_misc_set_alignment() changes the position of the entire text block
within the label's size allocation, and it's probably what you want. The
two alignment args are 0.0 for top/left and 1.0 for bottom/right and 0.5
for center.
