Fix distance to bars from edges of x-axis within theme function ggplot

Question

I created my own theme so that me and my colleagues get saved tons of time :). I am looking for a way to fix the distance from the edges of the x-axis to the bars within the theme function. As I run the script below, the distance between the y-axis and the first bar is bigger than the distance than I would like. I aim at creating a graph that looks like (see image), so with very small distance from the sides of the graph.

library(ggplot2)
library(ggthemes)
library(plyr)

#dataset
df <- mtcars
df$cyl <- as.factor(df$cyl)
df$am <- as.factor(df$am)
df$am <- revalue(df$am, c("0"="Automatic", "1"="Manual"))

#define color set; middenblauw, donkerblauw, geel, rood, oranje, donkergroen, lichtblauw, lichtgrijs, donkergrijs
uwvPalet <- c("#0078D2","#003282","#C4D600","#BE0028","#F08C00","#687A00","#B9E2FF","#B9E2FF","#999999")
