You can try:

Subsync.

Subsync is a command line tool to syncronize srt subtitles.

You can use it to fix subtitles with both constant and variable time shift.

Ffsubsync

Language-agnostic automatic synchronization of subtitles with video,

so that subtitles are aligned to the correct starting point within the video.

You can try srt-stf (srt subtitles time fixer):

A simple tool written in Python: netharuM / srt-subtitle-time-fix

srt-stf --file <input_track>.srt --time 00:00:28,500 -o <output>.srt

This command will slow the subtitle by 28.5 seconds. And if you want the subtitles to appear sooner simply add the '-n' flag

srt-stf --file <input_track>.srt --time 00:00:28,500 -n -o <output>.srt
