slideshow styling

I have successfully created a javascript slideshow, but the buttons are stacked vertically above and below the image instead of on either side of the image. Here's my code... <html> <head> <link rel = "stylesheet" href = "style.css"> </head> <body> <header> <h1 class = "place">Hawaii</h1> </header> <main> <br><br> <button id = "back">back</button> <img class = "slides" src = "https://www.wallpapersbrowse.com/images/xa/xa9j99h.jpg"> <img class = "slides" src = "https://cdn-image.travelandleisure.com/sites/default/files/styles/1600x1000/public/1502722460/hanauma-bay-nature-preserve-oahu-hawaii-HAWAIIFLIGHTDEAL0817.jpg?itok=5RHXufdE"> <img class = "slides" src = "https://www.hawaiidiscount.com/Portals/0/hawaii-vendors.jpg"> <img class = "slides" src = "https://i.ytimg.com/vi/L3V7LKYPIUQ/maxresdefault.jpg"> <button id = "next">next</button> </main> <script> let back = document.getElementById("back"); let next = document.getElementById("next"); let num = 0; let imgs = document.getElementsByTagName("img"); imgs[0].style.display = "block" next.addEventListener("click", () => { if (num == imgs.length-1) { num = 0; console.log(num) imgs[num].style.display = "block"; imgs[num+imgs.length-1].style.display = "none"; } num += 1; console.log(num) imgs[num].style.display = "block"; imgs[num-1].style.display = "none"; })

                        back.addEventListener("click", () => {
                                               if (num == 0) {
     num = imgs.length-1;
                        console.log(num)
                        imgs[num].style.display = "block";
                        imgs[0].style.display = "none";
  }
                        num -= 1;
                        console.log(num)
                        imgs[num].style.display = "block";
                        imgs[num+1].style.display = "none";
                        })

                        back.style.display = "inlineBlock";
  next.style.display = "inlineBlock";
</script>

</body> </html>

here's my css if that's necessary...

h1 { font-family: system-ui; font-weight:400; font-size: 60px; margin-top: 0; padding-top: 15px; } header { text-align: center; border-bottom: 4px solid coral; } img { width: 70%; margin-top: 20px; } a { text-transform: capitalize; font-family: system-ui; color: black; font-weight: 200; font-size: 300%; text-decoration: none; } main { text-align: center; padding: 30px; } button { background-color: coral; border: none; color: white; padding: 10px 30px; text-align: center; text-decoration: none; display: inline-block; font-size: 16px; transition: .5s; font-size: 30px; border-radius: 20px; cursor: pointer; margin: 5px; } button:hover { background-color: white; color: black; } input:focus { outline:0; } input { font-size: 30px; padding: 10px; border-radius: 20px; background-color: #F0F0F0; border: none; text-align: center; font-weight: 300; } button:focus { outline:0; } .destination { display: inline-block; width: 70%; padding: 0px; margin-bottom: 100px; } .place { margin-left: 5%; text-align: left; font-weight: 200; } .slides { display: none; }

You could wrap the set of image in a container to constrain their width and to set alignment with the buttons. For example, if you put a div around them with a class of "images":

.images {
  display: inline-block;
  width: 70%;
  vertical-align: middle;
}
