Videos in flexboxes touch each other before moving up/down a row despite declaring padding or margins

I hope this URL works because I'm working in Workspaces.

Making embedded YouTube videos responsive requires putting them inside a container, making the container responsive, setting the videos to fill the container, and using padding-bottom to make the vids viewable at the right dimensions. For me, I want the vids' size to respond for smaller viewports, but a set size for larger ones. I've got that set.

Herein comes the problem. The vids' containers are flex children inside their flex parent. So, when the view screen grows/shrinks, the number of rows should adjust automatically. Typical flexbox behavior. However, when I adjust the browser, the videos won't move up or down until they are touching.

I've tried adding margins and padding, but no luck. I've tried everything I could think of following CSS Trick's Flexbox Guid, but no luck. I'm stuck. Please help.
