Problem with Bootstrap 4 Navbar Dropdown changing other navigation items locations

I have a problem with my site's navbar. It works fine when I have the navbar expanded, but when it is in a collapsed state (for mobile), the dropdown item in the navbar pushes the other elements to the left and ignores the code (dropdown-menu-right) for making the dropdown align right.

I am not sure why it does this. If anyone can find a solution, it would be much appreciated.

If there is no solution, I would love to hear alternatives as well.

Codepen

<link href="https://stackpath.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/4.3.1/css/bootstrap.min.css" rel="stylesheet" />

<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.3.1/jquery.min.js"></script>

<header class="navbar navbar-expand-sm bg-dark navbar-dark fixed-top border-bottom border-primary" id="main-nav">
  <a href="index.html" class="navbar-brand">Project Name</a>

  <button class="navbar-toggler" data-toggle="collapse" data-target="#navbarCollapse">
            <span class="navbar-toggler-icon"></span>
        </button>
  <div class="collapse navbar-collapse" id="navbarCollapse">
    <ul class="navbar-nav flex-row d-sm-flex justify-content-around ml-sm-auto">
      <li class="nav-item btn">
        <a href="index.html" class="nav-link active"><i class="fas fa-home"></i> Home</a>
      </li>
      <li class="nav-item btn">
        <a href="documentation/current/#" class="nav-link"><i class="fas fa-book"></i> Documentation</a>
      </li>
      <li class="nav-item dropdown btn">
        <a class="nav-link dropdown-toggle" href="#" id="navbarDropdown" role="button" data-toggle="dropdown" aria-haspopup="true" aria-expanded="false">
          <i class="fas fa-globe"></i> English
        </a>
        <div class="dropdown-menu dropdown-menu-right" aria-labelledby="navbarDropdown">

          <h1 class="dropdown-header">
            <i class="fas fa-language fa-lg"></i> Language
          </h1>
          <div class="dropdown-divider"></div>
          <a class="dropdown-item active" href="#">English</a>
          <a class="dropdown-item disabled" href="#">Other Languages</a>
        </div>
      </li>
    </ul>
  </div>
</header>

This worked for me

#dropdown-menu-align-right.dropdown-toggle::after{
  margin:0px !important;  
  vertical-align: initial !important;  
}

.dropdown-toggle[aria-expanded="true"]:after{
  position:initial !important;
  display:inline !important;
  padding-right: 0px !important;  
  padding-bottom: 0px !important;
  padding-top: 0px !important;
  width: 0px !important;
  min-width: 0rem !important;
  padding-left: 4px !important;
  margin:0ox !important;
  
}

.dropdown-toggle[aria-expanded="false"]:before{
  padding-left: 4px !important;
  padding-right: 0px !important;
  padding-bottom: 0px !important;
  padding-top: 0px !important;
  position: initial !important;
  display: inline !important;  
  width: 0px !important;
  min-width: 0rem !important;  
}

Set the styling of dropdown-menu

.dropdown-menu{ position:absolute !important;}

(Instead of !important, I recommend applying the style directly to the div to prioritize over Bootstrap's default css)
