alignment issue with custom class

Hey, so i was recently playing around with Andy bell's
auto-grid
class which essentially makes it easier to manage responsive grids. I added the ability to change the
align-items
property in the class with a variable allied with a fallback, similar to some of the other properties already located in there, However this doesn't seem to function as expected and rather reads the fallback over the defined variable.

The fallback of the
align-items
property is
start
, i'm aiming to change it to
center
via the variable
--auto-grid-alignment-vertical
. When i define this in the
.hero__inner
class whose items are affected by the grid by doing
--auto-grid-alignment-vertical: center;
, it doesn't seem to change, however when i change how it's defined in the
auto-grid
class either by doing
align-items: var(--auto-grid-alignment-vertical, center);
or
align-items: center
, it seems to work perfectly. I'd appreciate any help with this, thanks in advance.
