my logo and links still not clickable as they should

My logo and links are still not fully clickable on all their surfaces, only on some part. I see on the video that it should be more clickable. Can not see any mistake in my css. Any idea what is wrong ?

/* Page Styles
================================ */

body {
  font: normal 1.1em/1.5 sans-serif;
  color: #222;
  background-color: #edeff0;
}

.main-wrapper {
  width: 90%;
  margin: auto;
}



/* Layout Element Colors
================================ */

.main-header       { background-color: #384047; }
.main-logo         { background-color: #5fcf80; }
.main-nav li       { background-color: #3f8abf; }
.primary-content   { background-color: #caebf6; }
.secondary-content { background-color: #bfe3d0; }
.main-footer       { background-color: #b7c0c7; }

/* Header, Banner and Footer Layout
================================ */

.main-header {
  padding: 20px;
  display: table;
  width: 100%;
}

.main-logo,
.main-nav,
.main-nav li {
  display: inline-block;
}

.main-logo,
.main-nav li {
  padding: 10px 20px;
  border-radius: 5px;
}

.main-nav li {
  margin-top: 15px;
  margin-right: 10px;
}

.main-logo {
  margin-top: 0;
  margin-bottom: 0;
  margin-right: 50px;
  width: 120px;
}

.main-logo a,
.main-nav a {
    color: white;
    text-decoration: none;
  display: block;
  text-align: center;
  padding: 10px 20px;
}

I can't test your code right now, but I think you should delete the padding in the list items:

.main-logo,
.main-nav li {
padding: 10px 20px;
border-radius: 5px;
}

Hey, I had the same problem. Your suggestion solved it. Any reason as to why deleting the padding there solved the problem. Thanks!
