Flex justify content end bootstrap nav items

Codepen -> https://codepen.io/SubSul/pen/LgWzVw.

I have modified the bootstrap 4 navbar component to include a fixed button dropdown for login on the top right corner. I'm now trying to align the nav-items to the stick against the login button, but justify-content: flex-end does not seems be pushing this to the right.

I tried adding margin-left to the nav-items, to no avail.

On the desktop I'm trying to achieve this -

And on the mobile, I'm trying to get the logo center aligned and login button stick to the right. I'm able to use margin-right to move the logo to the center, but the transition on click of hamburger shifts the logo a little to the left, how do I leave it fixed to the center -

I came up with a solution for this, it's not the cleanest I've made but maybe it will work for you, I didn't use flexbox to do it so you can delete the .main css, first off all you need to move the .login-widget div inside the nav tag, doing that it's gonna look as you want for desktop.

<nav class="navbar navbar-expand-lg navbar-light bg-light">
    <button class="navbar-toggler" type="button" data-toggle="collapse" data-target="#navbarText" aria-controls="navbarText" aria-expanded="false" aria-label="Toggle navigation">
    <span class="navbar-toggler-icon"></span>
    </button>
    <a class="navbar-brand" href="#">Navbar Logo</a>
    <div class="collapse navbar-collapse justify-content-end" id="navbarText">
    <ul class="navbar-nav">
        <li class="nav-item active">
        <a class="nav-link" href="#">Home <span class="sr-only">(current)</span></a>
        </li>
        <li class="nav-item">
        <a class="nav-link" href="#">Features</a>
        </li>
        <li class="nav-item">
        <a class="nav-link" href="#">Pricing</a>
        </li>
    </ul>
    </div>

    <div class="login-widget">
            <button class="btn btn-secondary btn-lg dropdown-toggle" type="button" data-toggle="dropdown" aria-haspopup="true" aria-expanded="false">
            Log In
            </button>
            <div class="dropdown-menu dropdown-menu-right">
            <form class="px-4 py-3">
                <div class="form-group">
                <label for="exampleDropdownFormEmail1">Email address</label>
                <input type="email" class="form-control" id="exampleDropdownFormEmail1" placeholder="[email protected]">
                </div>
                <div class="form-group">
                <label for="exampleDropdownFormPassword1">Password</label>
                <input type="password" class="form-control" id="exampleDropdownFormPassword1" placeholder="Password">
                </div>
                <div class="form-check">
                <input type="checkbox" class="form-check-input" id="dropdownCheck">
                <label class="form-check-label" for="dropdownCheck">
                    Remember me
                </label>
                </div>
                <button type="submit" class="btn btn-primary">Sign in</button>
            </form>
            <div class="dropdown-divider"></div>
            <a class="dropdown-item" href="#">New around here? Sign up</a>
            <a class="dropdown-item" href="#">Forgot password?</a>
            </div>
        </div>

</nav>

But we will have a problem on mobile devices, when you click on the hamburger menu the .login-widget div it's going to align with the other nav items of the menu, breaking your layout, so what I do to fix this, it's giving to .login-widget a position absolute

.login-widget{
    position: absolute;
    right: 16px;
    top: 4px;
}

that will do the trick for .login-widget, but now we have another problem .navbar-brand isn't centered, so what I do to fix it's using position absolute again

.navbar-brand{
    position: absolute;
    top: 8px;
    right: calc(109px + 16px);
    left: calc(56px + 16px);
    text-align: center;
}

and for the last, you have to wrap this classes in a media query to reset the values for desktop.

@media only screen and (min-width: 992px){
    .login-widget{
        position: static;
        right: auto;
        top: auto;
    }

    .navbar-brand{
        position: static;
        top: auto;
        right: auto;
        left: auto;
        text-align: left;
    }
}

Here you have a codepen if you wanna test it, let me know if that's the solution you are looking for!
