So the standard problems with floats :-) I can only recommend that you
try to solve that by using some available packages and/or change the
standard settings for float placement.  Putting your floats into a
center environment wouldn't be my first choice because you get different
spacing for in text floats (i.e., the value von \intextsep).  I'm
attaching a snippet posted by B. Raichle in 1995 which helps here for
non-floating environments.  Maybe you want to give it a roll:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
% nofloat.sty
%
% definiert `nfigure' und `ntable' Umgebungen, die nicht floaten,
% d.h. mit erzwungenem ``placement'' `here'.
%
% 9.8.91 br
%

\newif\if@nofloatinvmode

\newenvironment{@nofloat}[1]{%
  % merken, ob wir gerade im hmode oder vmode sind
  % je nachdem wird danach \parskip eingefuegt
  \ifhmode
    \@bsphack
    \@nofloatinvmodefalse
  \else
    \@nofloatinvmodetrue
  \fi
  % Abstand einfuegen und caption type setzen
  \vskip\intextsep
  \def\@captype{#1}%
  % nun wird die float in eine Box gesetzt
  \vbox\bgroup
    \hsize\columnwidth
    \@parboxrestore
}{%
    % wie mit ``normalen'' floats sollte auch hier
    % die `depth' der Box 0pt sein.
    \vskip 0pt
  \egroup
  \penalty\interlinepenalty
  \vskip\intextsep
  % je nachdem ob wie zu Beginn im hmode waren, wird
  % \parskip eingefuegt.
  \if@nofloatinvmode
    \vskip -\parskip
  \else
    \@esphack
  \fi
}

% und jetzt noch die Umgebungen:

\newenvironment{nfigure}{%
  \begin{@nofloat}{figure}%
}{%
  \end{@nofloat}%
}

\newenvironment{ntable}{%
  \begin{@nofloat}{table}%
}{%
  \end{@nofloat}%
}

\endinput
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

You'll understand the comments 😎

I simply hit 'space' to get all labels.  And I see that you've found
that out yourself.
