Is there any way I can align my help icon as shown in my mock up properly in bootstrap form? Thanks

First add a custom selector to the div-container wrapping your input and your icon (class 'info-input'):

<div class="col-sm-5 info-input">
    <input type="email" class="form-control form-control-sm" id="colFormLabelSm">
    <i class="fa fa-question-circle" aria-hidden="true"></i>
</div>

Next we use flex to align input and icon in a centered row:

.info-input {
    display: flex;
    align-items: center;
}

To add some spacing between input and icon you can add some margin to the icon:

.info-input .fa {
    margin-left: 10px;
}
