most likely the issue is just the margin and/or padding the browser applies to lists as a default. If you just setmargin:0;andpadding:0;to your ul and li styles, you should be able to then align or space it however you prefer.

It is not actually the space taken up by the bullet points - ul elements have a default padding-left - just reset it to zero:
Ideally you should just reset the padding instead of negative margins - see demo below:
#square {
position: fixed;
width: 350px;
height: 100%;
top: 0px;
left: 0px;
background-color: rgb(230, 255, 230);
}
ul {
position: relative;
bottom: 30px;
display: flex;
flex-direction: column;
align-items: center;
list-style-type: none; /* hide bullet points */
padding-left: 0; /* ADDED */
}
li {
margin-top: 40px;
padding-left: 75px;
border-color: white;
border-width: 2px;
border-style: solid;
padding: 5px 20px 5px 20px;
background-color: green;
border-radius: 10px;
width: 100px;
text-align: center;
}
.navlink {
text-decoration: none;
color: white;
}<div id="square">
<ul>
<li><a class="navlink" href="#">Introduction</a></li>
<li><a class="navlink" href="#">Middle</a></li>
<li><a class="navlink" href="#">End</a></li>

Simply add a margin-left to the <li> elemements of -40px to offset the margin added by the bullet points:
#square {
position: fixed;
width: 350px;

top: 0px;

This works, thank you. But how did you know margin added by the bullet points was 40px?

You've identified the root cause (the default padding on the unordered list element) but it might make more sense to just set the padding of the UL to 0 instead of adding the negative margin to the LI.

Your given code almost ok just use one single line into style sheet
in li style use below line
list-style-type: none;
New li style look like
li {
margin-top: 40px;
padding-left: 75px;
list-style-type: none;
border-color: white;
border-width: 2px;
border-style: solid;
padding: 5px 20px 5px 20px;
background-color: green;
border-radius: 10px;
width: 100px;
text-align: center;

This works, thank you. But how did you know margin added by the bullet points was 40px?

You've identified the root cause (the default padding on the unordered list element) but it might make more sense to just set the padding of the UL to 0 instead of adding the negative margin to the LI.

Simply add a margin-left to the <li> elemements of -40px to offset the margin added by the bullet points:
#square {
position: fixed;
width: 350px;
height: 100%;
top: 0px;
left: 0px;
background-color: rgb(230, 255, 230);
}
ul {
position: relative;
bottom: 30px;
display: flex;
flex-direction: column;
align-items: center;
list-style-type: none;
}
li {
margin-top: 40px;
margin-left: -40px;
border-color: white;
border-width: 2px;
border-style: solid;
padding: 5px 20px 5px 20px;
background-color: green;
border-radius: 10px;
width: 100px;
text-align: center;
list-style-type: none;
}
.navlink {
text-decoration: none;

}<div id="square">
<ul>

Your given code almost ok just use one single line into style sheet
in li style use below line
list-style-type: none;
New li style look like
li {
margin-top: 40px;
padding-left: 75px;
list-style-type: none;
border-color: white;
border-width: 2px;
border-style: solid;
padding: 5px 20px 5px 20px;
background-color: green;
border-radius: 10px;
width: 100px;
text-align: center;
}

most likely the issue is just the margin and/or padding the browser applies to lists as a default. If you just set
margin:0;andpadding:0;to your ul and li styles, you should be able to then align or space it however you prefer.– ryantdecker

'which I do not want' - bullet points or the space taken, or both?
