7zip batch multiple files in directory without folder in archive

I have a series of file in a series of folders that need to be zipped individually.

C:\folder1\file1-1.txt
C:\folder1\file1-2.txt
C:\folder1\file1-3.txt

C:\folder2\file2-1.txt
C:\folder2\file2-2.txt
C:\folder2\file2-3.txt
C:\folder2\file2-4.txt

C:\folder3\file3-1.txt
C:\folder3\file3-2.txt
C:\folder3\file3-3.txt
C:\folder3\file3-4.txt
C:\folder3\file3-5.txt

I usee the below code to zip each folder, no problem:

for /d %%X in (fol*) do "c:\Program Files\7-Zip\7z.exe" a "%cd%\ZIPS\%%X.zip" "%%X"

And I'm left with 3 zip files in a directory "ZIPS" with the contents of each folder in their own ZIP, as is desired.

C:\ZIPS\folder1.zip
C:\ZIPS\folder2.zip
C:\ZIPS\folder3.zip

However within each file, I'm left with the folder as well as the files.

e.g. C:\ZIPS\folder1.zip\folder1\<files here>

What I'm after is the files being saved in the root of the directory: 

e.g. C:\ZIPS\folder1.zip\<files here>

I've tried removing the "%%X" at the end of the line, however all that does is save all files in all directories for each folder.

Any assistance would be appreciated.

Change to the folder where the files to compress are stored

for /d %%X in (fol*) do ( 
    pushd "%%~fX" & (
        "c:\Program Files\7-Zip\7z.exe" a "%cd%\ZIPS\%%~nX.zip" *
        popd
    )
)
