4th item on a column of 3 elements not clearing left in CSS

Hi there guys,

I have racked my brain on this for ages. The forth row with this code is not clearing left. It is often messy depending on the screen size. I have added a clearfix. Still not happening. Here is the code:

#portfolio-gallery li {
      width: 28.333333%;
      margin: 2.5%
  }

  #portfolio-gallery li:nth-child(4n) {
     clear: left;
 }

Any tips?

I have also tried

#portfolio-gallery li {
      width: 28.333333%;
      margin: 2.5%
  }

  #portfolio-gallery li:nth-child(4n-4) {
     clear: left;
 }

I am stumped.

Hope to hear from you guys soon! :)

The teachers notes for this video https://teamtreehouse.com/library/how-to-make-a-website/responsive-web-design-and-testing/build-a-three-column-layout is the one that has the explanation.
