How can I put two navbar elements to the end in Bootstrap 5?

I am trying to put two navbar elements to the end of the navbar in Bootstrap 5 but it's not working

I've tried ms-auto with a div encapsulated around the log in and sign up elements but that didn't work. I've also tried float and text but that didn't work either.

Solution

Use the w-100 or flex-fill class to stretch the navbar-nav element. Without that you have no space to implement ms-auto, which then works as expected. You'd use ms-sm-auto to only apply margin above the mobile breakpoint.
