Justify-items: flex-end; Isn't working for me

Question

So I've tried looking up similar issues other people were having with using flex-end with justify-content, but none of the solutions seem to work for me. I'm a bit new to developing website and I'm still learning the basics I guess.

I want to avoid just adding margin-left and adding a bunch of media queries because I guess it doesn't feel right?

EDIT: Sorry I should of been more specific with what I wanted. I basically want the MC# and the "talk to us" all the way at the end of the header. This is what it currently looks like website

JSX

 <header className={headerStyles.header}>
             <nav>
                <ul className={headerStyles.navList}>
                    <li>
                <Link className={headerStyles.title} to="/">
                    {data.site.siteMetadata.title}
                </Link>
            </li>
                    <li>

justify items doesn't apply to flexbox. You may be mixing apples and oranges here, and want either justify-content or align items, dependent on what you're going for. See https://css-tricks.com/snippets/css/a-guide-to-flexbox/ for a good comprehensive overview of using flexbox that I routinely return to.

Based on the edited info and viewing the page in the comment, I recommend something along these lines: Alter the structure of the HTML output to provide two <ul>'s inside the nav, one for the JSX-generated links, and other for the part you want pushed to the right. Then, alter the CSS:

nav {
    display: flex;
    justify-content: space-between;
    width: 100%;
}

and give both <ul>'s the same styling:

.header-module--mcNum--2BWPQ {
    height: auto;
    display: flex;
    flex-direction: row;
    align-items: flex-end;
    justify-content: flex-end;
    white-space: nowrap;

My hero. That got me in the right direction, it's working now. Thanks! — Adam Noah, Jan 26 '20 at 04:20

did you mean justify-content? justify-items is ignored in flexbox layouts, as it says here: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/justify-items
