Courses Plus Student 24,778 PointsThe first question would be - which element's margin are you referring to? At first glance, I don't see any code that would add extra margin or padding to the right and not the left.
Try this - In your browser, hit F12 to open up your developer window. You can use the DOM Explorer to select each of your elements and inspect the layout. You can use this tool to see numerical values that represent the margin and padding for each element in the DOM. That should help you identify at least which element the unexpected margin or padding is being applied to. You can usually use that information to correct the spacing issue.
