Can't center js clock properly

I recently started self studying some HTML/CSS/Js, one of my first projects was a clock. I was following a tutorial on how to make it and, in the end, everything seemed to work properly but instead of it being centered, it is too far on the right and I can't seem to find a way to fix the position.

var hour = document.getElementById("hour");
var minute = document.getElementById("minute");
var seconds = document.getElementById("seconds");

var clock = setInterval(
  function time() {
    var date_now = new Date();
    var hr = date_now.getHours();
    var min = date_now.getMinutes();
    var sec = date_now.getSeconds();

    if (hr < 10) {
      hr = "0" + hr;
    }
    if (min < 10) {
      min = "0" + min;
    }
    if (sec < 10) {
      sec = "0" + sec;
    }

    hour.textContent = hr;
    minute.textContent = min;
    seconds.textContent = sec;


  }, 100
)
*,
*::before,
*:after {
  padding: 0;
  margin: 0;
  box-sizing: border-box;
}

body {
  height: 100vh;
  background: linear-gradient( 135deg, #8052ec, #d161ff);
}

.clock {
  width: 550px;
  height: 150px;
  position: absolute;
  transform: translate(-50% -50%);
  top: 50%;
  left: 50%;
  display: flex;
  align-items: center;
  justify-content: space-between;
}

.clock div {
  position: relative;
  background-color: white;
  height: 100%;
  width: 150px;
  display: flex;
  align-items: center;

  color: black;
  border-radius: 5px;
  box-shadow: 0 15px 30px rgba(0, 0, 0, .3);
  letter-spacing: 3px;
}

You are missing a comma in your transform property declaration.

transform: translate(-50% -50%);

should be

transform: translate(-50%, -50%);

Demo:

var hour = document.getElementById("hour");
var minute = document.getElementById("minute");
var seconds = document.getElementById("seconds");

var clock = setInterval(
  function time() {
    var date_now = new Date();
    var hr = date_now.getHours();
    var min = date_now.getMinutes();
    var sec = date_now.getSeconds();

    if (hr < 10) {
      hr = "0" + hr;
    }
    if (min < 10) {
      min = "0" + min;
    }
    if (sec < 10) {
      sec = "0" + sec;
    }

    hour.textContent = hr;
    minute.textContent = min;
    seconds.textContent = sec;


  }, 100
