CSS Adding Padding

I think this is answered correctly but I get an error.

The question is:

Since there is no border, padding, or content to separate the top margin of our logo with the top margin of the body, we're seeing a margin collapsing issue in the header. Let's fix this by giving .main-header 5px of padding on each side.

My answer is:

.main-header { padding-left: 5px; padding-right: 5px; }

The error I get is:

Bummer! Make sure you're giving .main-header 5px of padding on each side.

I don't see what I'm doing wrong.

Try with padding: 5px; that will add padding in all 4 sides

They may be looking looking for :

     padding: 5px;
}```
 to give 5px of padding on all sides, including top and bottom

I ran into this also. "...padding on each side." is a bit misleading.
