Menu Search – searchform added with added text

Support team,
After adding the search icon to my menu bar, I’ve successfully added text with a link (to a Google Custom Search Page) for two sites in the code of searchform.php (Child Theme) under the search form box. Site A displays it without padding (see private URL) and Site B adds a bunch of padding using the same code. I’m stumped because none of the CSS I’ve tried for avia-search-tooltip avia-tt has helped to remove the extra padding around the the text. You can see the difference quickly clicking on my links in the Private Content below and clicking on the search icon on the main menu for each site.

What is causing the padding difference above and below my text “Try our Advanced Search instead.” on Site B?
Thank you for your continued support.
