    The only properties you’ve applied to .pricing-container are align-items and justify-content. Both of these only affect Grid and Flex layouts of which .pricing-container is neither (it has descendants which are part of Grid and Flex layouts, but it isn’t part of one itself).

    As a result, any property which might effect its position (or the position of its content) is the default for a div (display: block, text-align: start, width: auto, etc).

    Possibly you want to set it to display: flex but since you are really trying to arrange the grandchildren in a grid you might want to consider replacing all the layout work you’ve done with a grid layout.

    The starting point for that would be to set .pricing-container to display: grid and the .pricing-plan elements to display: content so you can arrange the .plan-title etc elements on that grid.

    In order to use align-items & justify-content, you have to use display:flex or display:grid

    .pricing-container {
      display: flex;
      align-items: center;
      justify-content: center;
    }

    Now the flex items will stack together. So you can simply set gap property to give some padding between flex items

    /* if display: flex is involved in the code, then do the code.*/
.pricing-container {
    align-items: center;
    justify-content: center;
    display: flex;
}
