Dropdown menu in navbar getting stuck-CodePudding

I'm trying to make a Navbar with a dropdown menu. I want 'Clips' to have a dropdown menu with 3 links. But I can't seem to get it to work. If i set the position to absolute i get them stacked on top of eachother en when i change it to relative they go inside the link. Can someone help? Do I have to change the selectors?

Thanks in advance!

.navbar{
  display: flex;
  justify-content: space-around;
  align-items: center;
  font-size: 18px;
  background-color: darkred;
}

.nav-list{
  list-style-type: none;
}

.dropdown{
  position: relative;
  display: inline-block;
  list-style-type: none;
  padding: 10px 10px;
  border: solid black 1px;
  border-radius: 10px;
  margin: 2px;
}

.dropdown ul li{
  position: relative;
}

.dropdown-content {
  display: none;
  position: absolute;
  background-color: darkred;
  min-width: 160px;
  box-shadow: 0px 8px 16px 0px rgba(0,0,0,0.2);
  z-index: 10;
  overflow: visible;
}

.dropdown-content a {
  color: black;
  padding: 12px 18px;
  text-decoration: none;
  display: block;
}


.dropdown:hover .dropdown-content {
  display: block;
}


.nav-list .list-item {
  display: inline-block;
  padding: 10px 10px;
  border: solid black 1px;
  border-radius: 10px;
  margin: 2px;
}

Set UL position inside top menu

  li.dropdown > ul {
    position: absolute;
    margin-left: 0 !important;
    padding-left: 0;
