Remember that text-align is for flow elements. Div's are block elements.

But the bar is centered right now, both by the align-items: center; in the flow item (.form), and by the auto margin in the "contents" div. You can remove either one of those and it will remain centered. I'm not sure why it seemed like it wasn't.

Now the heading over it is not centered, If you want that you could use text-align: center; there since that's a flow element.
