Subtitle in nav bar + right aligned items

Question

I've got a nav bar with a subtitle, the subtitle uses the technique from here:

Unfortunately, when I added the sub-title, I lost the right-alignment on my nav bar - meaning I need some items to be right aligned, and they were, but not anymore since adding the sub-title.

Any idea how I could combine nav-bar sub-title with right-align?

<nav class="navbar navbar-expand-lg navbar-light bg-light">
  <button class="navbar-toggler" type="button" data-toggle="collapse" data-target="#navbarNav" aria-controls="navbarNav" aria-expanded="false" aria-label="Toggle navigation">
      <span class="navbar-toggler-icon"></span>
  </button>
  <div class="d-flex flex-column">
    <div class="d-sm-flex d-block flex-nowrap">
      <div class="collapse navbar-collapse">
        <ul id="navbar-section-list" class="navbar-nav mr-auto">
          ... a bunch of li/a here to represent left aligned items
        </ul>
        <ul class="navbar-nav">
          <li class="nav-item dropdown-item-right">
            <a id="refresh-button" class="nav-link" href="#">Refresh</a>
          </li>
          <li class="nav-item dropdown dropdown-item-right justify-content-end">
            <a class="nav-link dropdown-toggle" href="#" id="navbarDropdownMenuLink" role="button" data-toggle="dropdown" aria-haspopup="true" aria-expanded="false">Account</a>
            <div class="dropdown-menu dropdown-menu-right" aria-labelledby="navbarDropdownMenuLink">
              <span id="account-info-header" class="dropdown-item-text"></span>
              <a class="dropdown-item">Settings</a>
              <a class="dropdown-item" href="/auth/v1/logout">Log out</a>
            </div>
          </li>
        </ul>
      </div>
    </div>
    <small id="navbar-node-info"></small>
  </div>
</nav>

I think that right-alignment of "Refresh" and "Account" were provided by the "mr-auto" attribute on:

<ul id="navbar-section-list" class="navbar-nav mr-auto">

But sadly I have no idea why it stopped working with "flex"...

I tried adding a justify-content-end on the second ul.navbar-nav but it made no difference, still no right alignment.
