    You’re using flex which is causing it to move right side.

    You can either use flex-direction: column; or remove flex from section

    If you still want to use flex, refer to code below:

    section{
   display:flex;
   flex-direction: column;
}
    <section>
<h1>Hello World</h1>
<p>About me</p>
</section>

    As another friend mentioned, if you wanna do this with Flex you should take a look at the document. I changed your code a little bit, hope it helps.

  display: flex;
  flex-direction: column;
  justify-content: center;
