Position element at the bottom of container without flex or position absolute

I'm trying to make a component that uses both a background color for half of the component and an image for the other half, with the image acting as an element with a margin. The problem I'm having is that I cannot use display flex to space elements correctly in the content area, it breaks the component with the current solution I'm using and I have no idea why. I'm specifically trying to position .service__link at the bottom of .service__content. I've tried using paddings/margins to get it in place, but at smaller screen sizes it ends up overflowing out of the box. <!-- begin snippet: js hide: false console: true babel: false --> <!-- language: lang-css --> *, *::before, *::after { box-sizing: border-box; } * { padding: 0; margin: 0; } body { min-height: 100vh; font-family: Arial; } .service-container { max-width: 1800px; margin-inline: auto; padding: 40px 15px; display: flex; flex-wrap: wrap; justify-content: center; gap: 1.5rem; } .service { flex: 1 1 calc(33.3336% - 1.5rem); display: inline-block; position: relative; background: #144088; min-height: 325px; border: 2px solid #144088; color: white; } .service::before { content: ""; float: right; width: 100%; height: 100%; background: url(https://images.unsplash.com/photo-1645069258059-6f5a71256c4a?ixlib=rb-1.2.1&ixid=MnwxMjA3fDB8MHxwaG90by1wYWdlfHx8fGVufDB8fHx8&auto=format&fit=crop&w=2076&q=80) left center/150%; shape-outside: polygon(79% 0, 100% 0, 100% 100%, 42% 100%); clip-path: polygon(79% 0, 100% 0, 100% 100%, 42% 100%); shape-margin: .3em; } .service::after { content: "01"; position: absolute; top: 0; font-size: 60px; font-weight: bold; line-height: 1; opacity: 25%; } .service__content { padding: 3rem 0 1rem 1rem; height: 100%; } .service__title { font-size: 26px; } .service__description { font-size: clamp(12px, 3vw + .25rem, 16px); } .service__title, .service__description { margin-bottom: 1rem; } .service__link { display: inline-flex; justify-content: space-between; align-items: center; width: 35%; } .service__link a { color: white; } .service__link img { filter: brightness(0)invert(1); } @media screen and (max-width: 1200px) { .service { flex: 0 1 518px; } } <!-- language: lang-html --> <body> <div class="service-container"> <div class="service"> <div class="service__content"> <h4 class="service__title">Lorem</h4> <p class="service__description">Lorem ipsum dolor, sit amet consectetur adipisicing elit.

Also, if anybody has a better idea of how to make this component in general I'd love to hear it. Thanks!
