Hello,
In the production, i had the opening bracket {  in place, but I missed putting the opening bracket in this post.
The width is 100%
So, by changing width and put the { didn't align the text to the left.
Did you get it to work on  your end?
Thanks

Hello,
Your code moved the panel to the left when you set it to 40%, but not the text. I showed grey area on the right side.  Tried to use 100%. It turns out the text-align: left  didn't do anything     Thanks
I would like to align the text like the following:
