Different behavior of my html elements while my css is the same...

Hi,

I am having some issues with a header I am building I am using flexbox and media queries to change the width of my pages on my wanted breakpoints.

However I am experiencing some weird behavior, sometimes when I go past a breakpoint my html elements change according to my media query and the styles put in to this media query, and sometimes at the exact same breakpoint they don't change whilst all the code is 100% the same I still get a different outcome from time to time...

Anybody has any idea what could be causing this? I would add pictures but I don't see an upload button here :/

So the problem occurs in the navbar

Here is html:

'''html <nav class="navbar-styles"> <div class="inside-nav-wrapper"> <a href="index.php"><img class="headerlogo" src="images/mobilelogo2.png" /></a> <ul> <div class="border-container"> <li><a class="headerlinks" href="assortiment.php">Assortiment</a></li> <li><a class="headerlinks" href="overons.php">Over ons</a></li> <li><a class="headerlinks" href="contact.php">Contact</a></li> <li id="link4"><a class="headerlinks headerlinks-webshop" href="webshop.php">Webshop</a></li> <li id="link5"><a class="headerlinks headerlinks-login" href="#">Log in</a></li> </div> </ul> </div> </nav> <div class="nav-border"> </div> '''

And here is the css:

'''css @media screen and (min-width: 1024px) {
