Without a MWE on which to experiment, it's hard to be certain. A couple of possibilities come to mind. One is to replace the 2x1 inner table with a multiline math formula (such as a "gathered" environment). Another is to click in a cell in the first column¸
click Edit > Table Settings (or right click and do the equivalent), set a fixed width for the first column and a vertical alignment of "Middle" in the column settings dialog.<br>

What I proposed above works. Put the cursor in the "Geometry" cell, right click, select Settings..., and in the Column settings section of the Table Settings tab set a fixed width for the column. That enables the Vertical alignment control, which you set to
Middle. You might want to horizontally center as well; that's up to you.<br>
I've attached a modified version of the MWE.<br>
