Could anyone explain me why space-between isn't applying?

Question

Does anyone have any idea why space-between doesn't work? I was trying to inspect it, but the prompt says that I shouldn't use flex-wrap? I didn't though. Would be grateful for any suggestions enter image description here

* {
  margin: 0;
  padding: 0;
  font-family: "Poppins", sans-serif;
  box-sizing: border-box;
}

body {
  background: #000;
  color: #fff;
}

.header {
  width: 100%;
  height: 100vh;
  background-image: linear-gradient(rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.7), rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.7)),
    url(/images/header-image.png);
  background-size: cover;
  padding: 10px 8%;
  position: relative;
}

nav {
  display: flex;
  align-items: center;
  align-content: space-between;
  padding: 10px 0;
}

It's a matter of the axis. In your CSS, replace the nav component declaration align-content for justify-content.

use justify-content instead of align-content like so:

* {
  margin: 0;
  padding: 0;
  font-family: "Poppins", sans-serif;
  box-sizing: border-box;
}

body {
  background: #000;
  color: #fff;
}

.header {
  width: 100%;
  height: 100vh;
  background-image: linear-gradient(rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.7), rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.7)),
    url(/images/header-image.png);
  background-size: cover;
  padding: 10px 8%;
  position: relative;
}

nav {
  display: flex;
  align-items: center;
  justify-content: space-between;
  padding: 10px 0;
}

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
  <head>
    <meta charset="UTF-8" />
    <meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=edge" />
    <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0" />
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="/style.css" />
    <title>Netflix</title>
  </head>
  <body>
    <div class="header">
      <nav>
        <img src="/images/logo.png" class="logo" alt="logo" />
        <button>English</button>
        <button>Sign In</button>
      </nav>
    </div>
  </body>
</html>
