Right align select option 'container', not text within option

I have been looking via google and this forum but still no closer to finding the answer to this.

I have a select that is in the right side of my page but the options are jumping out to the right side of the page. So I am looking to get the 'container' moved to the left so it is aligned to the right of the select.

For the sake of simplicity I have used instyle.

I am wanting the right side select to have its option 'container' to be moved over to the left so it is like that in the image in my first post.

That doesn't look like a "real" select, but more likely a CSS/JavaScript element. Impossible to help without you providing the relevant code. What would be really helpful is if you could create a JSFiddle with just the minimum code to replicate the problem.

 

EDIT: OK, when I clicked Save your 2nd post wasn't there.

If I done a JSFiddle it would be the same code.  I recreated the same problem using my original code and stripped out everything that was not needed to show my issue.

 

The right side select is the issue.  I am wanting the options 'container' to be right aligned to the select as shown in the image I added in the OP
