How to add space between <label> and form field

I know this has been answered but none of the solution seem to work for me. I am trying to get a label and 2 small form fields into one line. With around 90px space between the label tag and field. Something like the image below.

enter image description here

I am having a problem getting the label "Monday", onto the same like as the 2 field forms, and when i do manage to accomplish this, 1 out of the 2 form fields falls onto the following line. Having the worse luck with something that is probably simple.

currently it looks something like:

enter image description here

Please help!

div.form-group{
    width:100%;
    float:left;
    width: 100%;
    margin-left: 450px;
    margin-top: -340px;
    z-index:-2;
}

div.form-group > label,[type=text]{
    float:left;
   
    
}

div.form-group > label{
    width:100px;
    text-align: left;
    padding-left: -10px;
   margin-right: 40px;
        z-index:9;
}

div.form-group[type=text]{
    margin-left: 50px;
    z-index: 1
    
}
 <div class="form-group">
                                <label for="Monds"> Monday </label>
                                <input type="text" name="Monds" id="Mon"  class="open_hours" placeholder="--:--" required tabindex="8">
                                <input type="text" name="Monds" id="Monday" class="open_hours" placeholder="--:--" required tabindex="9">
                                <div>
