Parent div columns makes child elements not work

On my projects page, I have this div called ‘Project Container’ and I set the number of columns to 2. However, the child elements in the container are acting weird. How would I get the child elements to not wrap around to the bottom? Also whenever I increase the size of my section, the div on the left keeps on taking on its size. How would I get it so that I keep an automatic height for the div on the left but not 100% of the parent element?
