How do I insert an advanced layer slider that is only half the size?

I’d like to have a layout which contains text on the left side of the main content area and an advanced layer slider slideshow on the right. I know there is the easy slider, but I’d like to utilize the features offered by the advanced layer slider. I’ve already made a slideshow and edited its style to be 480px wide and turned of the full-width option, yet when I try to insert it next to a half sized element it appears under the first half element. I tried putting a second half box next to the first and dropping the advanced layer slider media element into it, but it won’t drop. So I turned on debugging as per these instructions and inserted the layerslider shortcode into the half box like so:” [av_one_half][av_layerslider id=’6′][/av_one_half] “.
But this didn’t work either. I’m tempted to write a whole bunch of css rules to try to get it to work, but I’d love to know if there’s an easier way that I’m just missing.

When I went out of the layout builder tool and did it the old fashioned way (lots of css and php template changes), I made it work…so I know its possible. However, I’d rather not have to go through all that and would like to continue to use the layout builder. So if anyone can help I would very much appreciate it.
