Find the .css class related to buttons and add/edit –
margin-top: 10px;
…or any other number of pixels that will align as you need
The CSS that needs to be changed to fix the alignment of your social buttons in your header is in a file named: theme.min.css
located in this directory: /wp-content/themes/akita/assets/css
The theme.min.css file is minified, meaning it is hard to read/edit because all of the whitespace has been removed. I recommend using FTP to connect to your web host, and download of the /wp-content/themes/akita/assets/css/theme.min.css file.
Save yourself a backup of the theme.min.css file, naming it something like theme.min-backup.css.
Open the theme.min.css file in your favorite text editor and at the end of the file paste this:
#branding .header-addon-with-text {
margin-top: 0;
}
Replace the edited theme.min.css file via FTP, and test.
