Column Width

I’m having trouble adjusting the column width and padding of my table.

Using this custom CSS code, I am can adjust row height but not space horizontal space between text and cell.

.tablepress-id-N .column-2 {
padding: 4px;
}

This code adjusts column width but only to a certain extent. It seems like the table is set for some arbitrary width and that overrides my columm width adjustment. How do i properly adjust my column width to just wide enough for the text.

.tablepress-id-N .column-2 {
width: 100px;
}
