Your CSS doesn't contain any offset values, so I'm wondering why you need absolute positioning. Normally, you would not want to mix flexbox and absolute positioning. With flexbox, you are asking the system to position things according to certain rules (such as "justify-content"); but with absolute, you override all rules and specify offsets to position things yourself.

Please show the complete code (both HTML and CSS) if you need more specific help.
