Hi, I'm using Zorin OS 17 Lite xfce, is there a way to lower space between plugins?

I'm not sure if this link can help you. I haven't tried that myself yet and there is not said about which xfce version they're talking. I think it is not possible to do that with the normal settings.

If you test using a different theme and it changes - it's probably the theme button-width class with a property set to a larger number.
In addition to @Forpli's suggestion, adjusting button-width on the panel to a lower number will reduce that gap.

I tried a different theme but it seems to be the same, I was able to adjust the space between systray icons thanks to the @Forpli suggestion, but I wasn't able to tweak the padding size of the audio button.

#pulseaudio-button
{
     padding: 1px 2px;
}

#systray-5 button
{
    padding: 2px 4px;
}

Whether an applet or app responds to .css depends on the applet or app - .css is not all governing.
Yes, Pulseaudio is a bit lacking in this - it will respond to basics, but I think padding is not one of them. I cannot seem to change mine, either.
It responds to margin and to properties for size like width or height.
