Ive been trying to get my navigation to resize with the windows width, but as soon as i resize the window the animation elements dont resize with it. I got to scroll to the right in order for me to see the left out elements.

* {
  box-sizing: border-box;
  font-size: 100%;
  font-family: DM Sans;
  margin: 0;
  padding: 0;
}

@font-face {
font-display: swap;
font-family: 'DM Sans';
font-style: normal;
font-weight: 400;
src: url('fonts/dm-sans-v11-latin-regular.eot'); /* IE9 Compat Modes */
src: url('fonts/dm-sans-v11-latin-regular.eot?#iefix') format('embedded-opentype'), /* IE6-IE8 */
     url('fonts/dm-sans-v11-latin-regular.woff2') format('woff2'), /* Super Modern Browsers */
     url('fonts/dm-sans-v11-latin-regular.woff') format('woff'), /* Modern Browsers */
     url('fonts/dm-sans-v11-latin-regular.ttf') format('truetype'), /* Safari, Android, iOS */
     url('fonts/dm-sans-v11-latin-regular.svg#DMSans') format('svg'); /* Legacy iOS */
}

I’d appreciate any help

I’ve tried using solutions used before like implementing width 100%; for the navbar or header without any luck.

Answers

You have a large amount of padding on your link items:

header li {
  padding-left: 70px;
  padding-right: 70px;
}

If you want your nav to shrink when it doesn’t have enough width for all that padding, use flexbox instead of grid.
You can also simply reduce the padding. I had to strip away a lot of unnecessary code to get to your problem. Next time try and distill it down to a Minimum Reproducible Example

* {
  box-sizing: border-box;
  font-size: 100%;
  margin: 0;
  padding: 0;
}

@media screen and (min-width: 40em) {
  #container>* {
    margin-bottom: 0;
  }
  #container {
    display: grid;
    flex-direction: column;
    min-width: 100%;
    grid-auto-columns: repeat(minmax(200px, 1fr), 1);
    grid-template-rows: 90px 1fr auto;
    grid-template-columns: 1fr 200px;
    gap: 2px;
    grid-template-areas: "header header header" "main main side" "footer footer footer";
    height: 100vh;
  }
  #header {
    grid-column: 1 / -1;
  }
  #navigation {
    flex-direction: column;
    align-items: flex-start;
    padding: 20px;
  }
}

@media screen and (max-width: 35em) {
  nav {
    flex-direction: column;
    align-items: flex-start;
  }
  nav ul {
    flex-direction: column;
  }
  nav li {
    margin: 10px 0;
  }
}

@media screen and (max-width: 768px) {
  #navigation {
    justify-content: center;
  }
}

#container {
  margin-left: auto;
  margin-right: auto;
  max-width: 75rem;
  width: 100%;
}

#container>* {
  background-color: #fff;
  padding: 1em;
  border-radius: 20px;
  margin-left: 10px;
  margin-right: 10px;
}

header {
  display: grid;
  justify-items: center;
}

header li {
  list-style: none;
  display: inline-block;
  padding: 0 20px;
  font-size: 1em;
}

header a {
  text-decoration: none;
  color: #000;
  transition: 400ms;
  justify-content: space-between;
  margin: -15px;
}

header a:hover {
  text-decoration: none;
}

nav ul {
  display: flex;
  list-style: none;
  margin: 0;
  padding: 0;
}

nav a {
  text-decoration: none;
  font-size: 1.3rem;
}

nav a:hover {
  text-decoration: none;
  background-color: #FF5841;
}

.active {
  background-color: #FF5841;
}

<div id="container">
  <header id="header">
    <div id="navigation">
      <nav>
        <ul>
          <li><a class="active" href="#">asdasdasdasd</a></li>
          <li><a href="#">asdasdasdasd</a></li>
          <li><a href="#">asdasdasd</a></li>
          <li><a href="#">Wasasdasddao</a></li>
          <li><a href="#">asdasd</a></li>
          <li><a href="#">asdasdasd</a></li>

  </header>

Zach’s answer is very good.

A few more friendly observations, you need to clean your code, you got a lot of inconsistencies. A few examples:

You overwrite your code many times within a single block.
Also you grid setup is inconsistent:

#container {
    display: grid; 
    min-width: 100%;
    grid-auto-columns: repeat(minmax(200px, 1fr), 1);
    grid-template-rows: 90px 1fr auto;
    grid-template-columns: 1fr 200px;
    gap: 2px;
    grid-template-areas: 
          "header header header"
          "main main side"
          "footer footer footer";
     height: 100vh;
        }

#container {
  margin-left: auto;
  margin-right: auto;
  max-width: 75rem;
  width: 100%;
}

#container>* {
  background-color: #fff;
  padding: 1em;
  border-radius: 20px;
  margin-left: 10px;
  margin-right: 10px;
}

You got display grid with flex-direction

#container {
    display: grid;
    flex-direction: column;
    min-width: 100%;
    grid-auto-columns: repeat(minmax(200px, 1fr), 1);
    grid-template-rows: 90px 1fr auto;
    grid-template-columns: 1fr 200px;
    gap: 2px;
    grid-template-areas: "header header header" "main main side" "footer footer footer";
    height: 100vh;
  }
