Is it possible to start a led array at a led other than 0(first one), and if so how?

Maybe just set your max number of LEDs to the true number, and then in your effect code look for something like this…

for( int i = 0; i < NUM_LEDS; i++) {

…and change the zero in “int i = 0” to whatever index you want to be the beginning.

Not sure, if I get your question right. Let´s say some leds at the beginning of a strip died. Maybe you don´t want to change your entire code and use this instead:

FastLED.addLeds<CHIPSET, DATA_PIN>(leds + DEAD_LEDS, NUM_LEDS - DEAD_LEDS);
