I’m making a similar version of Twitter using HTML+CSS I’m trying to move my icons to the left like they are in Twitter but for some reason they don’t.

You can look to the photo or run the code

@import url('https://fonts.googleapis.com/css2?family=Poppins:ital,wght@0,100;0,200;0,300;0,400;0,500;0,600;0,700;0,800;0,900;1,100;1,200;1,300;1,400;1,500;1,600;1,700;1,800;1,900&display=swap');

Consider:

Allowing the .new-tweet-action flex container to wrap children onto a new line.
Applying margin-right: auto to the .new-tweet-action ul element to push any subsequent sibling elements to the right most of the container.
Overriding the .new-tweet-action .button element’s width so that it is smaller than 90% so that the previous ul element can sit alongside without wrapping.
