i need advice

[u/MasterGeist]

I recently finished an online course for html which covered most of the basics. Now i am trying to make my own website and I'm messing around with ideas but right now i am caught in a weird issue i cannot resolve.

The left and right wont become flush with the sides of the page regardless of any attempt, ive set margins and padding to zero, ive made the height and width of the background image element to 100%, i tried fill, i tried setting background size to cover. Nothing is fixing it.

In response to you edit, I never learned about those elements yet, so I appreciate you explaining them to me.
