Sure! Here are some tips for aligning the "SKILLS" section using Quick Stack in Webflow:

Enable Quick Stack: Before you start aligning the "SKILLS" section, make sure you have Quick Stack enabled for the container or div that wraps the skills elements. Quick Stack allows you to stack elements vertically with ease.
Add the "SKILLS" elements: Add the individual skill elements such as skill icons or text blocks inside the container or div. Make sure each skill element is a separate child element of the container.
Adjust the stack order: By default, Webflow stacks elements vertically in the order they appear in the HTML structure. However, you might want to adjust the stack order to achieve the desired visual arrangement. To do so, select the skill element and use the "Bring to Front" or "Send to Back" options in the settings panel to change its position within the stack.
Aligning elements horizontally: If you want the skill elements to align horizontally, select the entire container or div that contains the skills and set the display property to "flex" using the Flexbox settings in the layout tab of the element's settings panel. This will make the child elements stack horizontally instead of vertically. You can also adjust the flex properties such as flex direction, justify content, and align items to fine-tune the alignment.
Adjust spacing and margins: To ensure there is proper spacing between the skill elements, you can adjust the margins or padding of each child element. Use the spacing options in the settings panel to increase or decrease the spacing between the elements.
Fine-tuning alignment: If you want to align the skill elements more precisely, you can adjust the size, position, and alignment of each individual element using the layout and positioning options in the settings panel. For example, you can use the "Width" and "Height" options to make each skill element the same size and the "Margin" and "Padding" options to control the spacing around each element.

Following these tips should help you align the "SKILLS" section using Quick Stack in your Webflow portfolio site. Remember, don't be afraid to experiment and customize the settings to achieve the desired look and feel!
