Centering columns using media queries bootstrap

I am trying to work on responsive web design, specifically on centering images that are within a column container when hitting screen size of 576px. I've tried this statement that I have seen elsewhere:

@media(max-width: 576px)
{
.first-pic-container {
    float: none;
    margin: 0 auto;

}

But it doesn't do much. I have also tried using Bootstrap's offset class but that doesn't do anything either.

Here's the relevant HTML:

<div class="col-sm-4 first-pic-container">
    <img class="first-step" src="step1image.png" alt="firstpic">
                <div class= "row">
                    <div class="col-sm-12 col-md-12 col-lg-10 first-p-container">
     <p class="step-one-p"> Enter the classes you are looking to take for next semester! </p>
                    </div>
                </div>
            </div>

And the codepen for visual reference. I added borders around the firstpic and first-pic-container which I am trying to center: https://codepen.io/gkunthara/pen/VWdrYj

you need 

@media only screen and (max-width: 576px)
{
    .first-pic-container {
        text-align:center;
    }
}


body{
    font-family: Futura;
}

.navbar-toggle{
    background-color: transparent;
    border: none;
}

.active {
    border-bottom: #F48A2C solid 2px;
}
.nav-item{
    margin-right: 50px;
}
.nav-link{
    color: #62697A;
}

.navbar {
    margin-top: 25px;
}

.jumbotron {
    color: #8E9299;
    text-align: center;
}

p {
    color: #8E9299;
}


.first-p-container {
    margin-top: 10px;
}

.step-one-p {
    text-align: center;
}

.second-p-container {
    margin-top: 10px;
}

.step-three-p {
    text-align: center;
}


.third-p-container {
    margin-top: 20px;
}

.step-two-p {
    text-align: center;
}

.step-container {
    margin-left: 25px;
}

/* when the screen size goes below 374 px... */
@media (max-width: 374px)
{
    .navbar-toggler {
    display: none;
    }    

}

@media (min-width: 320px)
{
    .small-sub-header{
        display: none;
    }
}

@media (max-width: 320px)
{
   .main-header{
       display: none;
    }
    .sub-header{
        display: none;
    }
    .small-sub-header{
        display: inline-block;
    }
}


@media (max-width: 425px)
{
    h1{
        font-size: 32px;
    }
    .sub-header{
        margin-top: 25px;
    }

}


@media only screen and (max-width: 576px)
{
    .first-pic-container {
        border: solid;
        text-align:center;
    }
    .first-step{
        border: solid;
    }
    
}

One way to do this is to text-align: center; your parent div, in your case i.e. .first-pic-container

@media(max-width: 576px) {
    .first-pic-container {
        text-align: center;
    }
}

Give text-align: center to first-pic-container

@media(max-width: 576px) {
        .first-pic-container {
            text-align: center;
        }
    }

Images are a inline elements by default so you only need to add text-align: center; to it's parent element. If you want to use margin: 0 auto; then you need to set the image to display: block;
