Maths Ted uses to calculate galactic velocity in ezRA

Maybe your answer is explained at about
      https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YXuPDJVRbd0&t=1892s
or maybe starting back at
      https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YXuPDJVRbd0&t=1083s
where I explain the tangential velocity method.
The radius from the

      Galactic Center to the tangential gas cloud

is simply trigonometry math with
      Galactic Longitude angle
      Sun to Galactic Center distance
The math trick is that the tangential gas cloud is the fastest receding velocity measured along that line of sight,
hence the   -ezGalVelGLonEdgeLevelL   parameter to find those fastest receding velocity values in your data.
