A possible solution is to add a padding to the left side of the QLabel of a suitable width, to calculate the width I have created a custom QCheckBox that returns the width of the indicator but to that amount you must add a couple of pixels that represent the space between the indicator and the text:



#include <QtWidgets>

class CheckBox: public QCheckBox{
public:
using QCheckBox::QCheckBox;
int width_of_indicator(){
QStyleOptionButton opt;
initStyleOption(&opt);
return style()->subElementRect(QStyle::SE_CheckBoxIndicator, &opt,this).width();
}
};

int main(int argc, char *argv)
{
QApplication a(argc, argv);
QWidget w;
auto ch = new CheckBox("insert_text");
auto label = new QLabel("some_text: Stack Overflow");
label->setStyleSheet(QString("padding-left: %1px").arg(ch->width_of_indicator()+2));
auto lay = new QVBoxLayout(&w);
lay->addWidget(ch);
lay->addWidget(label);
w.show();
return a.exec();
}
