I have a navbar on my site which is fixed to the right side of the screen. But the problem is that i want it to be fixed so that it does not extend past the max body width of 1440px. How could i achieve this?

HTML: 
<body>
    <nav>
        <div class="nav-upper">
            <img class="nav-logo" src="img/logo.svg" alt="Staugaard Studio logo">
            <div class="nav-collapse-btn">
                <h2>Navigation</h2>
                <img class="nav-arrow" src="img/arrow-down.svg" alt="nav indicator">
            </div>
            <div class="nav-collapse">
                <a class="nav-collapse-link" href="">Om mig</a>
                <a class="nav-collapse-link" href="">Projekter</a>
                <a class="nav-collapse-link" href="">Kontakt</a>
            </div>
        </div>
        <div class="nav-lower">
            <h2>©2022</h2>
            <a class="nav-btn" href="">KONTAKT</a>
        </div>
    </nav>
</body>

CSS: 
nav {
    display: flex;
    flex-direction: column;
    justify-content: space-between;
    height: 100vh;
    position: fixed;
    top: 0;
    right: 0;
    padding: 40px 25px 40px 25px;
    border-left: #242325 solid 2px;
    box-sizing: border-box;
}

body {
    max-width: 1440px;
    padding: 40px;
    margin: 0 auto;
    background-color: #FFF8F2;
}

My screen is over 2000px and I see nothing happening that looks bad when I stretch your page to those limits. The side column remains the same size and firmly up against the right side of the page.
What do you see happening?
