If you mean only the first icon inside the button then here is what you need to do

First, give the second div (the parent of button) these classes flex flex-col, then for the button add self-end to align it to the right

<script src="https://cdn.tailwindcss.com"></script>

<div class="w-72 bg-white text-gray-100 shadow-lg">
      
      <div class=" text-sm h-full flex flex-col ">
      <button class='text-slate-800 self-end hover:text-white hover:bg-black rounded-full p-2 transition ease-in-out delay-50 hover:-translate-y-1 hover:scale-110 duration-200 cursor-pointer'>
      <div class ='h-5 w-5 bg-red-500 rounded-full' />
      </button>             
        <a class="flex items-center space-x-5 p-5 text-slate-800">
          <MusicNoteIcon class="h-5 w-5" />
          <p class="font-semibold hover:font-bold">
            Sovereignty Kingdom
          </p>
        </a>

        <nav class="flex items-center space-x-3 rounded-lg p-3 text-slate-800 hover:bg-black hover:text-white my-2 transition ease-in-out delay-50 hover:-translate-y-1 hover:scale-110 duration-200 cursor-pointer">
          <HomeIcon class="h-5 w-5" />
          <p>Home</p>
        </nav>
        <nav class="flex items-center space-x-3 rounded-lg p-3  text-slate-800 hover:bg-black hover:text-white  transition ease-in-out delay-50 hover:-translate-y-1 hover:scale-110 duration-200 cursor-pointer">
          <TrendingUpIcon class="h-5 w-5" />
