Sticky navbar isn't working in my website

Question

I am currently trying to make my navbar sticky when I scroll down, however, it isn't working. I have tried to use W3 Schools way and have tried position: sticky on my #nav element. I want my navbar to stay at the top of the screen when scrolling.

#nav {
    width: 100%;
    margin: 0;
    padding-top: 5px;
    text-align: center;
    list-style: none;
    overflow: hidden;
    background-color:rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.171);
}
#nav li {
    display: inline-block;
    text-align: center;
    padding-top:2px;
    text-align: center;
    padding-bottom:8px;
    margin-left:20px;
}
#nav li a {
    display: block;
    text-decoration: none;
    text-align: center;
    font-weight: 600;
    text-align: center;
    color: black;
    font-family: 'Open Sans';
    margin-right:50px;
    margin-left: 35px;
    padding: 8px;
}
#nav li a:hover {
    color: rgb(29, 57, 179);
    text-align: center;
    background-color: rgba(226, 226, 226, 0.637);
    transition: ease-in-out;
    transition-duration: 0.2s;
}

<div id="nav">
        <li><a href="#">Home</i></a></li>
        <li><a href="#">About Us</a></li>
        <img width="50px" height="45px" text-align="center" src="file:///C:/Users/trist/Downloads/camera.svg">
        <li><a href="#">Our Services</a></li>
        <li><a href="#">Contact</a></li>
    </div>

Try this when you scroll down you nav will remains at the top

body {
  height: 500vh;
}

#nav {
  position: fixed;
  width: 100%;
  margin: 0;
  padding-top: 5px;
  text-align: center;
  list-style: none;
  overflow: hidden;
  background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.171);
}

#nav li {
  display: inline-block;
  text-align: center;
  padding-top: 2px;
  text-align: center;
  padding-bottom: 8px;
  margin-left: 20px;
}

#nav li a {
  display: block;
  text-decoration: none;
  text-align: center;
  font-weight: 600;

  font-family: 'Open Sans';
  margin-right: 50px;

  padding: 8px;
}

#nav li a:hover {
  color: rgb(29, 57, 179);
  text-align: center;
  background-color: rgba(226, 226, 226, 0.637);

You can do this:

#nav {
  position: fixed;
  top: 0;
  z-index: 99;
}

You would just need to lose the opacity on the navbar and offset the container following the navbar from the top a bit or it'll look like it's overlapping/smashed together.
