Best Answer

Simply change \usepackage[flushleft]{threeparttable} to \usepackage{threeparttable}.

But there is still the problem with the line:

    \begin{tabular}{p{110}ccccccc} % <==================================110

Change it for example to

    \begin{tabular}{p{5cm}ccccccc} % <==================================110

Then your table is small enouph to be centered on the page as the following MWE shows:

with the result:

enter image description here

I suggest to not use \scalebox{0.6} for the table, if possible ...

Please see that I moved the command \label after command \caption where it belongs ... And I added the missing package booktabs to the MWE.
