There is no perfect way to handle this since, as you say, placing it immediately after the text would place the button in different locations on each item. All the way to the right means the user might have to move their mouse a lot but that's just the best we can do

The only other thought I had was a [+] type icon to the left of the folder icon. or perhaps leaving a space to the left so a hover button could appear to the left.
But I suppose with the whole row highlighted you can roll down the right side and look along the left to see if you got the correct item to open.
