Html – How can I get the signup button of my code to stay at the top?

I have created a container for the header: <header-container>
In this container, there is a nav bar, the logo of my website and signup button which links to another html page.

However, when I scroll down the page, the sign up button scrolls down with it which interferes with the visuals of other aspects of the page.

I removed the position:fixed from signup-container, however it impacted the positioning of the navbar and the signup container. I then tried to move the values of margin-left, top etc to see if it would make any difference, it didn’t. I went to inspect it via Google Chrome and the inspection says that the position:static property prevents top from having an effect and that I should try setting position to something other than static.

.header-container {
  display: flex;
  justify-content: space-between;
  align-items: center;
  padding: 5px;
  background-color: #fff;
}


/* Logo formatting */

.logo-container {
  text-align: left;
  padding: 10px;
}

.logo-container img {
  width: 150px;
  height: auto;
}

nav {
  text-align: center;
  flex: 1;
  margin-left: -180px;
}

nav a {
  color: #4a4a4a;
  text-decoration: none;
  padding: 14px 16px;
  display: inline-block;
  font-size: 18px;
  font-family: 'Montserrat', sans-serif;
  font-weight: bold;
  position: relative;
}

nav a::before {
  content: '';
  position: absolute;
  top: 80%;
  left: 0;
  width: 0;
  height: 3px;
  background: #383838;
  transition: width 0.3s ease;
  /* Added transition for a smoother effect */
}

nav a:hover::before {
  width: 100%;
}

.signup-container {
  position: fixed;
  top: 15px;
  right: 20px;
}


/* Sign up button on the top right */

.btn {
  width: 150px;
  height: 40px;
  color: #fff;
  background: #000;
  font-size: 15px;
  font-family: 'Montserrat', sans-serif;
  text-decoration: none;
  margin: 50px;
  margin-top: 35px;
  display: flex;
  align-items: center;
  justify-content: center;
  box-shadow: 0px 0px 0 #A6A6A6;
  transition: 0.5s;
}

.btn:hover {
  box-shadow: 8px 10px 0 #A6A6A6;
}
<div class="header-container">
  <div class="logo-container">
    <img src="img/LUXSC2.png" alt="Page Logo">
  </div>
  <nav>
    <a href="index.html">Home</a>
    <a href="aboutus.html">About Us</a>
    <a href="values.html">Values</a>
    <a href="facts.html">Facts</a>
  </nav>
  <div class="signup-container">
    <a href="logInPage.html" class="btn">Sign Up</a>
  </div>
</div>

    An element with a fixed position is relative to the viewport. It’s going to stay in the same spot no matter what moves past it on page.

    I would recommend using an absolute position, and changing the CSS like so:

    .header-container .signup-container {
  position: absolute;
  top: 15px;
  right: 20px;
}

    Since the signup-container is a child of .header-container, it’s good to group them up like this.

    Great work!

    I would prefer the above recommendation and if you are making it responsive then i would suggest you to use % instead of px

    .header-container .signup-container {
  position: absolute;
  top: "5%";
  right: "10%";
}
