All icons are not centered aligned and want to remove dropdown icons

When the page gets refreshed the icon is centred and aligned inside the slim sidenav but immediately it gets shifted to the left which leads to UI issue

To remove the dropdown I used

li .fa-angle-down{
display: none;
}

Any other alternative

Current code snippet
