how to re-style menu for mobile view using @media

I worked hard to get this menu running on my page but I'm still struggling with the mobile view.

I would like to style it like most classic navigations, like this one:

mobile menu with 100% width and one item per line

enter image description here

I tried:

@media (max-width :899px){
.site-nav {
display: block;
width: 100%;

But that had no effect on the flex items.

Would one be so kind and give me a hint where to start?

here is also a link to a pen

jQuery( document ).ready( function( $ ) {

		// add JS-classes into the HTML-Tag
		$('html').addClass('js');

		// add classes for sub menus and sub menus toggle button
		$(".site-nav li > ul").parent('li').addClass('has-sub-menu');
		$(".site-nav li > ul").addClass('sub-menu');

		// create button for expand- und collapse the menu and render it into the header
		var create_toggle_nav_button = ['<div class="toggle-site-nav">Menu</div>'].join("");
		$("header").append(create_toggle_nav_button); 

		// create button for expand- und collapse the sub menu  for mobile view and add them to all sub menus
		var create_sub_toggle_button = ['<span class="toggle-sub-menu"></span>'].join("");
		$(".has-sub-menu > a").after(create_sub_toggle_button);

		// define variables
		var $menu = $('.site-nav'),
		$toggle_nav = $('.toggle-site-nav'),
		$toggle_sub_menu = $('.toggle-sub-menu');

		// collapse and expand function of the main menu
		$toggle_nav.click(function(e) {
			e.preventDefault();
			$menu.slideToggle();
		});

		// collapse and expand function of the drop down menu for mobile view
		$toggle_sub_menu.click(function(e) {
			e.preventDefault();
			var $this = $(this);
			$this.toggleClass('active').next('ul').slideToggle();
		});

		// display hidden elements again, when browserwindow is resized by user
		$(window).resize(function(){
		  var w = $(window).width();
		  if(w > 900) {
			  $('.site-nav').removeAttr('style');
			  $('.sub-menu').removeAttr('style');
		  }
	  	});

	  	// collapse navigation automatically to the left, when it run out of the viewport
		$(".site-nav .has-sub-menu").on('mouseenter mouseleave', function (e) {

	        var nav_element = $('ul:first', this);
	        var element_offset = nav_element .offset();
	        var element_offset_left = element_offset.left;
	        var element_width = nav_element.width();
	        var viewport_width = $(window).width();

	        var element_in_viewport = (element_offset_left + element_width <= viewport_width);
	                 
	        if ( ! element_in_viewport ) {
	            $(this).addClass('sub-left');
	        } else {
	            $(this).removeClass('sub-left');
