Bootstrap 5: Dropdown menu go out off to the right of the screen

Question

I have a default bootstrap 5 navbar, but when I try to put a dropdown on the right, the list of dropdown items goes out of the screen on the right. This https://ibb.co/jf3GHfK.

I have tried the solution given to other people, for example here: Bootstrap 4: Dropdown menu is going off to the right of the screen

And here: Bootstrap: Position of dropdown menu relative to navbar item

(I have tried dropdown-menu-right or pull-right, but nothing has worked for me ....)

This is what is not working well:

<ul class="navbar-nav ml-auto">
  <li class="nav-item dropdown">
    <a
      class="nav-link dropdown-toggle"
      href="#"
      id="navbarDropdown"
      role="button"
      data-bs-toggle="dropdown"
      aria-expanded="false"
    >
      Username
    </a>

    <div
      class="dropdown-menu dropdown-menu-right"
      aria-labelledby="navbarDropdown"
    >
      <a class="dropdown-item dropdown" href="#"> Edit settings </a>
      <a class="dropdown-item" href="#"> Edit profile page </a>
      <a class="dropdown-item" href="#"> Show profile page </a>
      <a class="dropdown-item" href="#"> Create profile page </a>
    </div>
  </li>
</ul>

And this is my navbar code:

<nav class="navbar navbar-expand-lg navbar-dark bg-dark">
<div class="container-fluid">
<a class="navbar-brand" href="#">Blog</a>
<button
  class="navbar-toggler"
  type="button"
  data-bs-toggle="collapse"
  data-bs-target="#navbarSupportedContent"
  aria-controls="navbarSupportedContent"
  aria-expanded="false"
  aria-label="Toggle navigation"
>
  <span class="navbar-toggler-icon"></span>
</button>
<div class="collapse navbar-collapse" id="navbarSupportedContent">
  <ul class="navbar-nav me-auto mb-2 mb-lg-0">
    <li class="nav-item dropdown">
      <a
        class="nav-link dropdown-toggle"
        href="#"
        id="navbarDropdown"
        role="button"
        data-bs-toggle="dropdown"
        aria-expanded="false"
      >
        Categories
      </a>

      <ul class="dropdown-menu" aria-labelledby="navbarDropdown">
        <li>
          <a class="dropdown-item" href="#">Cat1</a>
        </li>
        <li>
          <a class="dropdown-item" href="#">Cat2</a>
        </li>
        <li>
          <a class="dropdown-item" href="#">Cat3</a>
        </li>
      </ul>
    </li>

    <li class="nav-item">
      <a class="nav-link" href="#">Add post</a>
    </li>
    <li class="nav-item">
      <a class="nav-link" href="#">Add category</a>
    </li>

    <li class="nav-item">
      <a class="nav-link" href="#">Logout</a>
    </li>
    <li class="nav-item">
      <a class="nav-link" href="#">Sign in</a>
    </li>
  </ul>
</div>

<!-- This is what is not working well -->
<ul class="navbar-nav ml-auto">

      role="button"
      data-bs-toggle="dropdown"
      aria-expanded="false"
    >
      {{ user.first_name }} {{ user.last_name }}
    </a>

    <div
      class="dropdown-menu dropdown-menu-right"
      aria-labelledby="navbarDropdown"
    >
      <a class="dropdown-item dropdown" href="#"> Edit settings </a>
      <a class="dropdown-item" href="#"> Edit profile page </a>
      <a class="dropdown-item" href="#"> Show profile page </a>
      <a class="dropdown-item" href="#"> Create profile page </a>
    </div>
  </li>
</ul>

Make sure you are reading the correct documentation for the version you are using:
https://getbootstrap.com/docs/5.0/components/dropdowns/#menu-alignment
You will see that v5 uses .dropdown-menu-end for a right-aligned menu.
