Understand

Modified gravity theories capable of genuine self-acceleration typically invoke a galileon scalar which mediates a long range force, but is screened by the Vainshtein mechanism on small scales.

In such theories, non-relativistic stars carry the full scalar charge (proportional to their mass), while black holes carry none.
Thus, for a galaxy free-falling in some external gravitational field, its central massive black hole is expected to lag behind the stars.
To look for this effect, and to distinguish it from other astrophysical effects, one can correlate the gravitational pull from the surrounding structure with the offset between the stellar center and the black hole.
