I've incorporated a drop-down menu into my Bootstrap 4 navbar, but I'm facing an issue with its positioning. Instead of having the drop-down menu appear below the navbar as intended, it shows up somewhere else due to the default top attribute value being set to 100%. To address this, I adjusted the top attribute to a custom value to align the drop-down menu just beneath the navbar. If anyone has a more efficient solution to achieve this alignment without resorting to custom values, I'd appreciate your input.
The modification I made has caused another problem – whenever I try to move the cursor from the menu link to the drop-down menu, the menu disappears. This behavior occurs because the menu is triggered by hovering, not clicking. The images below illustrate this issue:

This is my current navbar setup (to experience the issue, you need to view the desktop version):
.navbar-brand p {
width: auto;
max-width: 170px;
height: 47px;
}
.navbar {
padding: .25rem 1rem;
}
.nav-item {
padding: 0px 10px;
}
.navbar .nav-item:first-child {
padding-left: 0px;
}
.nav-item:last-child {
padding-right: 0px;
}
.burger-menu {
justify-content: right;
}
.dropdown-menu {
left: unset !important;
min-width: 300px !important;
top: 3.1rem !important;
}
.dropdown:hover > .dropdown-menu {
display: block;
}
.dropdown > .dropdown-toggle:active {
pointer-events: none;
