selenium error ElementNotVisibleException: element not visible

i am trying to click on element in chrome driver browser using python and selenium. when trying to click i get the element not visible exception. this is html code:

 <div class="mid-content"><ul><li><b><span>Private</span><span><!-- react-text: 715 --> (<!-- /react-text --><!-- react-text: 716 -->
3<!-- /react-text --><!-- react-text: 717 -->)
<!-- /react-text --></span></b></li><li><img alt="" src="../img/UserProfile/lock.svg" width="18" height="24"></li><li class="bottom-title">Request to View</li></ul></div>

this is how click by xpath:

browser.find_element_by_xpath('//*[@id="App-content"]/div/div[1]/div[2]/div[1]/div[3]/div/div/a/div/ul')

its not working. but if i click in chrome driver browser manually first and then run this line of code it's everything working fine. What's the trick?please help me to solve this problem.

Find different examples below how you can locate ul element.

Get ul element by css selector:

browser.find_element_css_selector('#App-content .mid-content ul')

Get ul element that contains "Private" and "3" texts:

browser.find_element_by_xpath('//*[@id="App-content"]//ul[contains(.,"Private") and contains(.,"3")]')

Get ul element that contains li with "Request to View" text and has child img tag:

browser.find_element_by_xpath('//*[@id="App-content"]//ul[./li[.="Request to View"] and .//img]')
