I customized the navbar in Bootstrap by centering it with custom CSS, but whenever I click on it, it suddenly shifts to one side. I'm puzzled as to why this is happening and

I attempted to center my navbar-toggler element, but was only successful in centering the navbar-contend using Bootstrap. I then took it a step further by trying to center the navbar-toggler icon with custom CSS, however, it now shifts to the left when clicked. I'm unable to figure out the reason behind this issue.

I attempted experimenting on my own, searched on Google, Stack Overflow, and even consulted GPT chat. Unfortunately, the last one turned out to be unhelpful.

The issue stemmed from the width of your div.d-flex. To address this, I included .w-100 and applied .mx-auto to the .navbar-toggler. This configuration creates a flexbox that spans 100% of the width with a button featuring automatic left and right margins.
