Clickable area outside of intended links in navbar

1

I’m trying to remove the clickable area outside of the intended links on my navbar, but have unsuccessful. I placed a border around the links, so it’s easier to see what I am talking about. I would also like to make the h1 and p text unclickable but having trouble with that as well.

Any help will be greatly appreciated! Thank you!

Here’s a link to my codepen
