Ah,you have to be very specific when it comes to challenges when it asks you about padding and margin you just need a normal padding and margin so all you need to do is delete the -top part of padding and -bottom of margin like this here:

.social-links {
padding:  15px;

  margin: 10px;
}

Hope that helps!!
