I’m trying to get my log in and sign-up buttons to move to the right side of the screen and can’t seem to get them there. I first tried adjusting their left-padding to move them and while it gets them there when full screen as soon as the screen is adjusted their size becomes inconsistent. I saw some examples of how to get them there by using float: right but when I do that it doesn’t move them the entire way.

You don’t need float. Those items have a flex container so you can simply use margin-left and it will give you the expected result. Here is the changes:
#login-btn{
margin-left: auto;
}
#signUp-btn{
margin-right: 20px;
}
.header {
display: flex;
justify-content: space-between;
align-items: center;
position: fixed;
width: 100%;
height: 70px;
padding: 0 20px;
background-color: white;
top: 0;
left: 0;
}
.topnav{
width: 100%;
height: calc(100vh / 10);
background-color: #2B78E4;
display: flex;
align-items: center;
/*justify-content: space-between;*/
}
.topnav a{
text-decoration: none;
color: black;
font-family: "Helvetica", sans-serif;
}
.helmet-logo {
width: 70px;
height: 70px;
}
/* Dropdown Button */
.dropbtn {
background-color: #fff1f1;

padding: 8px 16px;

/* The container <div> - needed to position the dropdown content */
.dropdown {

}

.dropdown-content {
display: none;
position: absolute;
background-color: #f1f1f1;
min-width: 160px;
box-shadow: 0px 8px 16px 0px rgba(0,0,0,0.2);
