Adjust top margin on a panel with different inputs using CSS

Hello there!

I am struggling to reduce the top margin on a panel with a text input and a link input using CSS.

I want to reduce top-margin and still have both elements aligned horizontally:

What I wish:

If I use 'display: flex', the top margin applies but the button moves under the textbox:

display : flex;
margin-top: 0vw !important;

Without 'display: flex' elements remain aligned but the top margin just does not apply:

margin-top: 0vw !important;

I have tried several display / flex options without luck so far.

My test dashboard:

<form>
  <label>Panel Height</label>
  <fieldset submitButton="false"></fieldset>
  <row>
    <panel>
      <input id="textbox_1" type="text" token="text_1_tok">
        <label></label>
        <default>Test1</default>
      </input>
      <input id="link_button_1" type="link" token="link_1_tok">
        <label></label>
        <choice value="true">A</choice>
      </input>
    </panel>
  </row>
  <row>
    <panel>
      <html>
        <style>
          #link_button_1 div[data-component="splunk-core:/splunkjs/mvc/components/LinkList"], #link_button_2 div[data-component="splunk-core:/splunkjs/mvc/components/LinkList"]{
            width: 23% !important;
          }
          #link_button_1 button, #link_button_2 button{
            margin-right: 10px;
          }
          #textbox_1, #textbox_2{
            margin-left: 8vw;
          }
          #link_button_1, #link_button_2, #textbox_1, #textbox_2{
            margin-top: 0vw !important;
          }
        </style>
      </html>
    </panel>
  </row>
</form>

Anyone has a clue?

Even though your labels appear to be empty, they are &nbsp; so they occupy some space. Try adding

          #link_button_1 label, #link_button_2 label, #textbox_1 label, #textbox_2 label{
            display: none;
          }
