Problem creating a two column layout with Flexbox using WordPress widgets

I have been struggling with this for a few hours.

I am trying to create a two column layout, putting two WP widgets in the same row, when browser window is over 900px.

@media only screen and (min-width: 900px) {
    .front-page-3,
    #text-6,
    .wpgmza_widget {
        display: flex;
        flex-direction: row;
    }
}

This seems to just distort the content, and they still appear on separate rows.

Any help would be hugely appreciated!

Thanks, Sean

I think I have figured out where the main problem is, but I do not know how, or the best way to go about fixing it.

the .front-page-3 selector I have used above is being used for all widgets on the page, not just the two I am trying to lay out side by side. So I think it should fix the problem if could add a custom class to the two widgets I am trying to lay out, but I am not sure of the best way to do that. I found a widget that could help me, but it doesn't seem like it is a good way to do it.

I hope this all makes sense...
