Modal UI breaks when using align related CSS properties

Description

When the child view of a modal is given alignItems: 'center' or justifyContent: 'center' the UI breaks while the modal is opens.

I could reproduce this behaviour when the modal contains an Image or an SVG, but I've also seen text flickers in the same manner.

While the flicker is prominent in New Architecture, it is also occurring in legacy when trying multiple times.

Steps to reproduce

1. Make a modal with child view having alignItems: 'center'
2. Add an Image and a Text to the child View
3. Flicker occurs when the modal is opened.

Current Behaviour: Modal content is first displayed in top right corner, then at it's intended position.
Expected Behaviour: Modal content should be displayed in the center without any flicker.

Comienza ejecutando el reproductor obligatorio en github.com/sanyam12/ModalFlicker en Android con React Native 0.80.2 y, a continuación, compara el comportamiento del modal con alignItems o justifyContent establecido en center. Verifica el resultado tanto en New Architecture como en legacy mode; se considera terminado cuando el contenido del modal aparece centrado inmediatamente y sin parpadeos, incluso cuando contiene un Image, SVG o Text.
