You probably have to use a function like the below.

(defun recenter-window (&optional window)
  "Recenter WINDOW.
WINDOW must be a live window and defaults to the selected one."
  (let ((window (window-normalize-window window t)))
    (if (eq window (selected-window))
        (recenter)
      (with-selected-window window
        (recenter)))))
