Which files to change to change the footer width?

[JMuff22]

In my site I have a footer with the usual section class="page__footer-follow, ul class="social-icons" and div class="page__footer-copyright sections found under _includes/footer.html. On the right side of the footer you can see my custom html in _includes/footer/custom.html:

  <div class="page__footer-container">
    <h4>Funding</h4>
    <p class="copyright-creator">NordIQuEst is a project of the 
      <a href="https://neic.no" target="_blank">Nordic e-Infrastructure Collaboration (NeIC).</a> 
      NeIC is an organisational unit under <a href="https://www.nordforsk.org/" target="_blank">NordForsk.</a>
    </p>
  </div>

For this I created a new entry in _sass/minimal-mistakes/_footer.scss:

.page__footer-container {
  font-family: $global-font-family;
  font-size: $type-size-6;
  position: absolute;
  inline-size: 500px;
  display: inline;
  overflow-wrap: break-word;
  bottom: 11px;
  right: 5px;

}

This is fine but something I haven't yet figured out is how can I make this container in the bottom right behave like the rest of the footer when the page is resized?

My thinking is I would need to extend the total width of the footer box. This can be seen through Inspecting the html code

The margins in the ``_footer.scss` should be correct yet they display only across half of the footer.

Any help on this would be appreciated!

I cannot find variables in the SCSS files to change this aspect of my site!

Also thanks for the theme!
