React / CSS - float nav bar right with flex boxes?-CodePudding

This is probably a relatively simple CSS situation but now working in React and also trying to display an Image component inline in the nav things are getting difficult -

I have an animated nav I took and tweaked from

Here's what I have, which aligns everything to center:

<main className={styles.main}>

        <div className={styles.nav}>
          <Image className={styles.navIcon} src={icon} width={40} height={40} />
          <ul className={styles.snip1168}>
            <li className={styles.current}><a href="#" data-hover="Work">Work</a></li>
            <li><a href="#" data-hover="Recs">Recs</a></li>
            <li><a href="#" data-hover="Say Hi">Say Hi</a></li>
          </ul>
        </div>

CSS:

.container {
  padding: 0 2rem;
}

.main {
  min-height: 100vh;
  padding: 4rem 0;
  flex: 1;
  display: flex;
  flex-direction: column;
  justify-content: center;
  align-items: center;
}

/* Start custom nav */

.nav {
  margin-top: 2.4em; /* coordinates w height of line away from link, MUST BE = */
}

.snip1168 {
  text-align: center;
  text-transform: uppercase;
}
.snip1168 * {
  box-sizing: border-box;
}
.snip1168 li {
  display: inline-block;
  list-style: outside none none;
  margin: 0 1.5em;
  padding: 0;
}
.snip1168 a {
  padding: 0.5em 0;
  padding-top: 2.4em; /* height of line away from link */
  color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 1);
  position: relative;
  text-decoration: none;
}
.snip1168 a:before,
.snip1168 a:after {
  position: absolute;
  -webkit-transition: all 0.35s ease;
  transition: all 0.35s ease;
}
.snip1168 a:before {
  top: 0;
  display: block;
  height: 3px;
  width: 0%;
  content: "";
  background-color: black;
}

.snip1168 a:hover:before,
.snip1168 .current a:before {
  opacity: 1;
  width: 100%;
}
.snip1168 a:hover:after,
.snip1168 .current a:after {
  max-width: 100%;
}

I've tried float properties as well as justify-content options. How can I create this alignment?

.container {
  padding: 0 2rem;
}

.main {
  min-height: 100vh;
  padding: 4rem 0;
  flex: 1;
  display: flex;
  flex-direction: column;
  justify-content: center;
  align-items: center;
}
a {
  color: inherit;
  text-decoration: none;
}

* {
  box-sizing: border-box;
}
html,
body {
  padding: 0;
  margin: 0;
  font-family: "sequel-sans-roman", -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, Segoe UI, Roboto, Oxygen,
    Ubuntu, Cantarell, Fira Sans, Droid Sans, Helvetica Neue, sans-serif;
}
.navIcon {
  display: inline-block;
  flex-grow: 1;
}

.nav {
  margin-top: 2.4em; /* coordinates w height of line away from link, MUST BE = */
}

.snip1168 {
  text-align: center;
  text-transform: uppercase;
}
.snip1168 * {
  box-sizing: border-box;
}
.snip1168 li {
  display: inline-block;
  list-style: outside none none;
  margin: 0 1.5em;
  padding: 0;
}
.snip1168 a {
  padding: 0.5em 0;
  padding-top: 2.4em; /* height of line away from link */
  color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 1);
  position: relative;
  text-decoration: none;
}
.snip1168 a:before,
.snip1168 a:after {
  position: absolute;
  -webkit-transition: all 0.35s ease;
  transition: all 0.35s ease;
}
.snip1168 a:before {
  top: 0;
  display: block;
  height: 3px;
  width: 0%;
  content: "";
  background-color: black;
}

.snip1168 a:hover:before,
.snip1168 .current a:before {
  opacity: 1;
  width: 100%;
}
.snip1168 a:hover:after,
.snip1168 .current a:after {
  max-width: 100%;
}
.mainText {
  text-transform: uppercase;
  font-size: 1.1rem;

Quick solution is to set

.nav {
  display: flex;
  justify-content: space-between;
  width: 100%;
  margin-top: 2.4em;
  /* coordinates w height of line away from link, MUST BE = */
}

Here I add some borders just to show where things are. I removed CSS not relevant to the question and showed a rendered HTML set to better illustrate.

.container {
  padding: 0 2rem;
  border: solid 1px pink;
}

.main {
  border: 1px solid green;
  min-height: 100vh;
}

a {
  color: inherit;
  text-decoration: none;
}

.nav {
  width: 100%;
  display: flex;
  flex-direction: row;
  align-items: center;
  justify-content: start;
  border: solid blue 1px;
}

.navIcon {
  display: block;
  flex-grow: 1;
  padding-left: 1em;
}

.navIcon img {
  display: block;
  width: 40px;
  height: 40px;
  border: 1px dashed red;
}

ul.snip1168 {
  width: 30%;
  list-style: none;
  display: flex;
  flex-direction: row;
  justify-content: space-around;
  align-items: center;
  text-transform: uppercase;
