i'm trying to make the left-links to move to the left side of the container and the right-links to move to the right side of the container but every time i type justify-content:flex-start for left side and flex-end for right side they wont move to the edges of their respective side.

Try justify-content: space-between on the header: (I also removed unnecessary flex's and the ul default padding)

.header  {
  font-family: monospace;
  background: papayawhip;
  display: flex;
  justify-content: space-between;
  margin-top: 50px;
  align-items: center; /* added for horizontal alignment */
}

.logo {
  font-size: 48px;
  font-weight: 900;
  color: tomato;
  background: white;
  padding: 4px 32px;
  }

ul {
  /* this removes the dots on the list items*/
  list-style-type: none;
  display: flex;
  padding: 0px;
}

a {
  font-size: 22px;
  background: white;
  padding: 8px;
  /* this removes the line under the links */
  text-decoration: none;
}

You can also use justify-content: space-evenly instead for centering the ul in the header segment:

.header  {
  font-family: monospace;
  background: papayawhip;
  display: flex;
  justify-content: space-evenly;
  margin-top: 50px;
  align-items: center; /* added for horizontal alignment */
}

.logo {
  font-size: 48px;
  font-weight: 900;
  color: tomato;
  background: white;
  padding: 4px 32px;
  }

ul {
  /* this removes the dots on the list items*/
  list-style-type: none;
  display: flex;
  padding: 0px;
}

a {
  font-size: 22px;
  background: white;
  padding: 8px;
  /* this removes the line under the links */
  text-decoration: none;
}
