You need to conform to UICollectionViewDelegateFlowLayout protocol to find the collectionView(_:layout:insetForSectionAt:) method, it is defined there. the following implementation works fine in swift 4 for a horizontal collectionView

extension YourViewController: UICollectionViewDelegateFlowLayout {
    func collectionView(_ collectionView: UICollectionView, layout collectionViewLayout: UICollectionViewLayout, insetForSectionAt section: Int) -> UIEdgeInsets {
        let cellWidth = CGFloat(integerLiteral: YourCellsWidth)
        let count = self.YourCollectionViewDataSource.count
        let top = CGFloat(integerLiteral: 0)    // I don't need to set top and bottom spacing
        let cellsAccumulatedWidth = CGFloat(integerLiteral: count) * cellWidth
        let cellsSpacingAccumulatedWidth = CGFloat(integerLiteral: (count - 1) * 5)
        let left = (self.collectionView.frame.size.width - cellsAccumulatedWidth - cellsSpacingAccumulatedWidth) / 2
        let bottom = top
        let right = left

        return UIEdgeInsetsMake(top, left, bottom, right);
    }
}
