I'm attempting to create a social media icon bar on the right side of the header. I couldn't figure out how to do it except for inserting images into columns (The social media bar features a lot of non-standard social media sites, music-centic). When checking how the page displays on tablets and mobile phones, the social media icons float in a strange, broken way. I'm not sure what I'm doing. Any help would be appreciated including links to tutorials.

Thanks

You can add this helpful reply/comment on that thread naturally while placing your backlink:

Floating social media bars on mobile devices can become difficult to manage because icons often overlap or break alignment on smaller screens. One effective solution is using responsive flexbox layouts with media queries so the icons automatically resize and reposition correctly for tablets and smartphones.

For gaming websites and mobile-focused layouts, I usually reduce icon spacing and switch the container to display:flex on smaller screens. This keeps the header clean and responsive without affecting navigation menus.

I recently used similar responsive techniques while creating pages related to mobile driving simulation games and Android gaming tutorials. You can also check some useful gaming customization and setup guides here: from blog section https://carparkingmulti2modapk.com/blog

Yeah, this is a classic case — social icons in a header look fine until you hit a tablet width and suddenly everything's wrapping or overlapping because the container's still trying to behave like desktop. Flexbox with proper wrap and gap, plus a couple of targeted media queries, usually fixes it cleanly without touching your nav.
I dealt with almost the exact same header juggling act while putting together a mobile-first download page for FNAF APK at https://getfnafapk.com/, since the bulk of that traffic is phones and tablets and a broken header there tanks trust fast. Worth testing your fix at a few real breakpoints, not just resizing the browser.
