Answer 1

You don't need any custom css for this if you are using bootstrap.

By default, a dropdown menu is automatically positioned 100% from the top and along the left side of its parent. Add .dropdown-menu-right to a .dropdown-menu to right align the dropdown menu.

Refer: https://getbootstrap.com/docs/4.0/components/dropdowns/#menu-alignment
