Creating an anchor link to a section I can't add a code block to

After following this tutorial I was able to make it so that when you click on the items in the header, it scrolls down the page to each relevant section. However, I am having an issue with getting the services header link to work properly.

In order for the header link to scroll to the correct position on the page, the code block has to be placed in the portfolio section. However, the portfolio section doesn't allow me to add any code blocks.

For the time being, I added the code block to the services section itself. As you can see though, the anchor link takes you too far down on the page. Screenshot shows where code block is currently placed.

Any workaround or solution would be greatly appreciated.

Can you share the site wide password? 

This can help with offsetting anchor links:

Placing an anchor link on a portfolio section isn't always possible when you're using auto layout sections, but you can as a work around have a separate section for the title rather than use the content title.

The anchor link offset was the solution!

Thank you yet again for the fantastic help 🙌
