LADSPA plugins report their latency, and Ardour compensates. Your VST
plugins probably don't report any latency.

Try inserting the "Artificial latency" plugin from the swh-plugins
package after the VSTs and tweak its latency. It doesn't modify the
signal in any way at all, it just pretends that it has a latency so that
Ardour will compensate for it.
