I am working on a personal project and I don’t know how to align these radio buttons with the above text of eachother.

My current situation is this…

I would like to achieve this other…

This is my HTML:

<!doctype html>
<html lang="en">

<head>
    <title>Simulatore Quiz AREU</title>
</head>
<form action='/risultati' method='POST'>
    <ol style="text-align: center; list-style-position: inside">
        {% for i in q %}<br/>
            <div>
                <li>{{ i }}</li>
                    {% for j in o[i] %}
                        <div>
                            <label>
                                <input type='radio' value='{{ j }}' name='{{ i }}' required/>
                            </label>{{ j }}<br/>
                        </div>
                    {%- endfor %}
                </div>
            {%- endfor %}
        </ol>
        <button type="submit" name="submit_button"> Finisci Test</button>
    </form>
</html>

And this is CSS:

/* https://www.bootdey.com/snippets/view/microsoft-metro-tiles-bootstrap#html */

.site-title {
    margin-top: 2rem;
    margin-bottom: 3.5rem;
    font-weight: 500;
    line-height: 1.2;
    color: black;
    text-align: center;
}

body {
    min-height: 100vh;
    display: flex;
    flex-direction: column;
    text-align: center;
}

form {
    margin: 10px;
    width: 1200px;
    text-overflow: ellipsis;
    display: contents;
}

input[type="radio"] {
    margin-right: 5px;
    align-items: flex-start;
}

form button[type="submit"] {
    margin-top: 30px;
    position: relative;
    overflow: hidden;
    background-color: #d00000;
    color: white;
    border: 0;
    padding: 1.5em 0.7em;
}

footer {
    margin-top: auto;
    text-align: center;
}


p, span, a, ul, li, button {
    font-family: inherit;
    font-size: inherit;
    font-weight: inherit;
    line-height: inherit;
}

strong {
    font-weight: 600;
}

h1, h2, h3, h4, h5 {
    font-family: 'Open Sans', "Segoe UI", Frutiger, "Frutiger Linotype", "Dejavu Sans", "Helvetica Neue", Arial, sans-serify, serif;
    line-height: 1.5em;
    font-weight: 300;
}

.card-tile {
    width: 100%;
    display: inline-block;
    box-sizing: border-box;
    background: #fff;
    padding: 20px;
    margin-bottom: 30px;
}

.card-title {
    margin-top: 0;
    text-align: center;
}

.purple, .blue, .red, .orange, .green {
    color: #fff;
}

.red {
    background: #d00000;
}

Potentially, all buttons should be aligned with the first character of the longest question.

If my understanding is correct you want your questionnaire to be on left, but you set text-align: center; of your ol tag that includes these questionnaire so that all it’s aligned center.

Therefore, you want to make it to the left side, you need to declare text-align: left; in your div.

.site-title {
    margin-top: 2rem;
    margin-bottom: 3.5rem;
    font-weight: 500;
    line-height: 1.2;
    color: black;
    text-align: center;
}

body {
    min-height: 100vh;
    display: flex;
    flex-direction: column;
    text-align: center;
}

form {
    margin: 10px;
    width: 1200px;
    text-overflow: ellipsis;
    display: contents;
}

input[type="radio"] {
    margin-right: 5px;
    align-items: flex-start;
}

form button[type="submit"] {
    margin-top: 30px;
    position: relative;
    overflow: hidden;
    background-color: #d00000;
    color: white;
    border: 0;
    padding: 1.5em 0.7em;
}

footer {
    margin-top: auto;
    text-align: center;
}


p, span, a, ul, li, button {
    font-family: inherit;
    font-size: inherit;
    font-weight: inherit;
    line-height: inherit;
}

strong {
    font-weight: 600;
}

h1, h2, h3, h4, h5 {
    font-family: 'Open Sans', "Segoe UI", Frutiger, "Frutiger Linotype", "Dejavu Sans", "Helvetica Neue", Arial, sans-serify, serif;
    line-height: 1.5em;
    font-weight: 300;
}

.card-tile {
    width: 100%;
    display: inline-block;
    box-sizing: border-box;
    background: #fff;
    padding: 20px;
    margin-bottom: 30px;
}

.card-title {
    margin-top: 0;
    text-align: center;
}

.purple, .blue, .red, .orange, .green {
    color: #fff;
}

.red {
    background: #d00000;
}

<form action='/risultati' method='POST'>
  <ol style="text-align: center; list-style-position: inside;margin-left: 0;padding-left: 0;">
      {% for i in q %}<br/>
        <div style="text-align: left;">
          <li>{{ i }}</li>
              {% for j in o[i] %}
                  <div>
                      <label>
                          <input type='radio' value='{{ j }}' name='{{ i }}' required/>
                      </label>{{ j }}<br/>
                  </div>
              {%- endfor %}
          </div>
      {%- endfor %}
  </ol>
  <button type="submit" name="submit_button"> Finisci Test</button>
</form>

You need to change the text-align: center; to text-align: left; this was causing the radio buttons to be centered, but if you change it to text-align: left; they will go left.

The updated code is

.site-title {
    margin-top: 2rem;
    margin-bottom: 3.5rem;
    font-weight: 500;
    line-height: 1.2;
    color: black;
    text-align: center;
}

body {
    min-height: 100vh;
    display: flex;
    flex-direction: column;
    text-align: center;
}

form {
    margin: 10px;
    width: 1200px;
    text-overflow: ellipsis;
    display: contents;
}

input[type="radio"] {
    margin-right: 5px;
    align-items: flex-start;
}

form button[type="submit"] {
    margin-top: 30px;
    position: relative;
    overflow: hidden;
    background-color: #d00000;
    color: white;
    border: 0;
    padding: 1.5em 0.7em;
}

footer {
    margin-top: auto;
    text-align: center;
}


p, span, a, ul, li, button {
    font-family: inherit;
    font-size: inherit;
    font-weight: inherit;
    line-height: inherit;
}

strong {
    font-weight: 600;
}

h1, h2, h3, h4, h5 {

    font-weight: 300;
}

.card-tile {
    width: 100%;
    display: inline-block;
    box-sizing: border-box;
    background: #fff;
    padding: 20px;
    margin-bottom: 30px;
}

.card-title {
    margin-top: 0;
    text-align: center;
}

.purple, .blue, .red, .orange, .green {
    color: #fff;
}

.red {
