can't remove the spacing at the very top when setting margin to 0 0 30px 0

i know there's a another post about this and i tried everything in that post and nothing has worked. however, when i use google inspect and remove float: left. everything will work fine as in the video. so can someone explain why it worked this way and not like it in the video?

You can see you have a fault in your html because there are red lines. Try to find out what before reading further. . . . . . . . . . Two opening ul tags instead of one.

You need to insert a padding-top: 1px;

For more information you can look at the course: CSS layout

The problem is collapsing I found out.
