I can't center align anything on the screen

I'm following a YouTube tutorial on how to make a responsive navigation bar on HTML using CSS and everything was going fine until I tried adding text in the center of the screen and it appeared on the left side of the screen (only if the window resolution is higher than 952px wide). I'm very new to CSS and everything I try to fix it doesn't seem to work. code show as below

* {
  padding: 0;
  margin: 0;
  text-decoration: none;
  list-style: none;
  box-sizing: border-box;
}

body {
  font-family: montserrat;
}

nav {
  background: #0082e6;
  height: 80px;
  width: 100%;
}

label.logo {
  color: white;
  font-size: 35px;
  line-height: 80px;
  padding: 100px;
  font-weight: bold;
}

nav ul {
  float: right;
  margin-right: 20px;
}

nav ul li {
  display: inline-block;
  line-height: 80px;
  margin: 0 5px;
}

nav ul li a {
  color: white;
  font-size: 17px;
  padding: 7px 13px;
  border-radius: 3px;
  text-transform: uppercase;
}

a.active,
a:hover {
  background: #1b9bff;
  transition: .5s;
}

.checkbtn {
  font-size: 30px;
  color: white;
  float: right;
  line-height: 80px;
  margin-right: 40px;
  cursor: pointer;
  display: none;
}

#check {
  display: none;
}

@media (max-width: 952px) {
  label.logo {
    font-size: 30px;
    padding-left: 50px;
  }
  nav ul li a {
    font-size: 16px;
  }
}

@media (max-width: 858px) {
  .checkbtn {
    display: block;
  }
  ul {
    position: fixed;
    width: 100%;
    height: 100vh;
    background: #2c3e50;
    top: 80px;
    left: -100%;
    text-align: center;
    transition: all .5s;
  }
  nav ul li {
    display: block;
  }
  nav ul li a {
    font-size: 20px;
  }
  a:hover,
  a.active {
    background: none;
    color: #0082e6;
  }
  #check:checked~ul {
    left: 0;
  }
}

section {
  background: url(bg1.jpeg) no-repeat;
  background-size: cover;
  height: calc(100vh - 80px);
  opacity: 20%;
}

    This solved the problem: set the width to just the width of the text, then align the container to the center via margin 0 auto.

    Add section { Border: 1px solid transparent; } also solves this problem.

    See the code snippet below.

    * {
      padding: 0;
      margin: 0;
      text-decoration: none;
      list-style: none;
      box-sizing: border-box;
    }
    
    body {
      font-family: montserrat;
    }
    
    nav {
      background: #0082e6;
      height: 80px;
      width: 100%;
    }
    
    label.logo {
      color: white;
      font-size: 35px;
      line-height: 80px;
      padding: 100px;
      font-weight: bold;
    }
    
    nav ul {
      float: right;
      margin-right: 20px;
    }
    
    nav ul li {
      display: inline-block;
      line-height: 80px;
      margin: 0 5px;
    }
    
    nav ul li a {
      color: white;
      font-size: 17px;
      padding: 7px 13px;
      border-radius: 3px;
      text-transform: uppercase;
    }
    
    a.active,
    a:hover {
      background: #1b9bff;

    .checkbtn {

      color: white;
      float: right;
      line-height: 80px;
      margin-right: 40px;
      cursor: pointer;
      display: none;
    }
    
    #check {
      display: none;
    }
    
    @media (max-width: 952px) {
