Challenge: Learn HTML Forms by Building a Registration Form - Step 57

Link to the challenge:

The tests want you to give it the same default padding discussed in the instructions, which you have done.

Your issue is not with the padding but with the selector. Spaces mean things in CSS selectors. What you have says “target any elements with a type of file that are childrent of an input”. What you want is to target any inputs that have a type of file.
