Jan Stránský proposed the following answer:
Hello,
the easiest approach (what you are experienceing) is to connect state.pos of two bodies. In the case of facet, its pos is in the center of inscribed circle.
If you want something more detailed, you can implement your own postprocessing (projection of the sphere's center to the facet) or if the overlaps are small, contact points can also be useful for your problem.
Cheers
Jan
