Submenu is not aligned css html

I'm having problems with my submenu. What happens is the following:

My menu has 4 links in which one of these links presents a submenu with 3 links. What is happening is that my submenu, instead of showing the links stacked one below the other, they are next to each other. I want the submenu links to be stacked.

@import url('https://fonts.googleapis.com/css2?family=Nunito:wght@200&display=swap');
            
*{
  box-sizing: border-box;
  margin: 0;
  padding: 0;
  background-color: #FFFFFF;
}  
.header {
  background-color: #F1F1F1;
  text-align: center;
  padding: 20px;
}        
li,a,button{

  font-weight: 500;
  font-size: 16px;

  text-decoration: none;
}        
header{
  display: flex;
  justify-content: space-between;
  align-items: center;
  padding: 30px 10%;

.logo{

Since you have set .nav_links li { display: inline-block } all the li element inside .nav will inherit this attribute. In order to solve that you can do two things:

  1. Instead apply the display: inline-block to all .nav_links li just add a chevron between them to indicate that you just want the display: inline-block only in the first element group. Like this: .nav_links > li { display: inline-block }.

  2. As @yainspan says just include the attribute display: block in the .nav_links li ul li css selector.

Personally I do prefer the first one in order to save time and effort searching every element inside the DOM tree. But both choices are good.
