Flexbox Container with Child in it with position absolute
I'm new to React, and I'm currently building a slideshow on my website. Basically, I have a left arrow, the slide content, then the right arrow in my flexbox for my slideshow. However, to make my arrows on the edges of the screen I needed to use position absolute, which messes up my flexbox container. I figured out that absolutely positioned child items don't count in the flexbox of the parent, but is there a way around that? As of now, my image is overlapping with the left arrow. Thanks, and sorry if this is poorly written since I'm very new to this all. Code will be below. Image: [1]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/PkL3Z.jpg
