Flexbox with Submenu

I have two questions. First question is when I hover over About Us the drop down menu i get isn't lined up with the main nav. I'm not sure how to align this vertically with the border of About Us??

My second question is in my css do I need to rewrite flexbox attributes for the drop menu with the hover state?? I'm not quite sure how I need to apply the layout to the submenu??

        <nav id="cssmenu">
            <ul class="navigate">
                <li><a href="#">Patients</a></li>
                <li><a href="#">Physicians</a></li>
                <li><a href="#">Payors</a></li>
                <li><a href="#">Specialties</a></li>
                <li><a href="#">Manufacturers</a></li>
                <li><a href="#">About Us</a>
                    <ul class="mini-nav">
                        <li><a href="#">Home</a></li>
                        <li><a href="#">Contact</a></li>
                        <li><a href="#">Resources</a></li>
                        <li><a href="#">Login</a></li>
                    </ul>
                </li>
            </ul>
        </nav>
