Control the format of the inputs when using wellPanel

Question

How can the shinydashboard inputs be formatted when wrapped in wellPanel so that they look the same as without using wellPanel. In the image below, the input box within the wellPanel is indented slightly more to the right and is a different size. (I can control the size, somewhat, by manually changing the style but not automatically)

Code:

library(shinydashboard)
library(shiny)

ui <- dashboardPage(
        dashboardHeader(),
        dashboardSidebar(width=500,
              sidebarMenu(id = "id1",
                    textInput("a", "AAA"),  
                     wellPanel(
                        textInput("b", "BBB")  
                     )
        )),
        dashboardBody(
            tags$head(
              tags$style(HTML('.well .shiny-input-container { width: 250px; }'))
              ))
        )

runApp(shinyApp(ui, function(input, output) {}))

try adding this style argument to your well panel it should work

 wellPanel(style = "padding-left:0px;",
                                     textInput("b", "BBB")  
                                 )

example output:

library(shinydashboard)
library(shiny)

ui <- dashboardPage(
    dashboardHeader(),
    dashboardSidebar(width=500,
                     sidebarMenu(id = "id1",
                                 textInput("a", "AAA"),  
                                 wellPanel(style = "padding-left:0px;",
                                     textInput("b", "BBB")  
                                 )
                     )),
    dashboardBody(
        tags$head(
            tags$style(HTML('.well .shiny-input-container { width: 250px; 
            
            
            }
                            
                            
                            
                            '))
        ))
)

runApp(shinyApp(ui, function(input, output) {}))
