That's an odd design. Most gas grills I'm used to have 3 or more straight burners side by side across the width of the grill, or sometimes front to back. In any of those you could light the one burner farthest away from where the meat will be. In your case I would probably try the single center burner at as low a flame as it can maintain, and keep the meat near the edges.

Again it's hard to screw up chicken thighs (bone in, skin on), they can take a bit of heat, but if you can keep it under 300 or 275F it will be better..
