I am facing an issue where I am trying to make a clone of the facebook website and I am currently working on the stories/reels box however my stories and reels text is not appearing on the same row side by side with each other. I want my stories and reels text to appear like this image here:
but even when I use in-line blocks and set widths to 50% and align the text to the right and the left, the end result is uneven and not what I am looking for. Please help

Flex layout only works on the direct children of a flex container. So you’d need to set
.upper_Boxtodisplay: flexfor those boxes to sit side-by-side. But it’s also worth asking if you need the.upper_Boxdiv at all. Looks like you can just remove it.Just use flexbox:
