Container query not working

Hello, my container query on .gridContainer is not working at all. If i change it to @media it works fine and dandy but the moment i try to use @container it just breaks and doesnt create me a 4 column layout on desktop as it should :

@use "sass:math";

@function rem($pixels) {
  @return math.div($pixels, 16) * 1rem;
}

flynt-component[name='HeadingBoxesParagraph'] {
  background-color: var(--color-blue-10);
  margin-block-start: 0;
  padding-block: clamp(rem(80), 16vw, rem(160));
  padding-inline: var(--container-spacing);

  .heading {
    text-align: center;
  }

  .gridContainer {
    container-name: grid-test;
    container-type: inline-size;
    display: grid;
    gap: clamp(rem(16), 4vw, rem(32));
    grid-template-columns: repeat(2, 1fr);
    justify-content: center;
    margin-block: 0;
    margin-block-start: 10px;
    max-inline-size: rem(1400);
    padding-block: clamp(rem(32), 6vw, rem(64));
    padding-inline: rem(16);

    @container grid-test (width > calc(40ch * 4)) {
      grid-template-columns: repeat(4, 1fr);
    }

    .box {
      align-items: center;
      background-color: var(--color-background, #fff);
      block-size: 100%;
      border-radius: rem(15);
      box-shadow: 0 rem(4) rem(6) rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.1);
      box-sizing: border-box;
      display: flex;
      flex-direction: column;
      justify-content: space-between;
      padding: clamp(rem(24), 4vw, rem(40));
      text-align: center;
      transition: all 0.3s ease;

      &:hover {
        box-shadow: 0 rem(6) rem(12) rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.15);
        transform: translateY(rem(-5));
      }
    }
  }
}

@use "sass:math";

@function rem($pixels) {
  @return math.div($pixels, 16) * 1rem;
}

flynt-component[name='HeadingBoxesParagraph'] {
  background-color: var(--color-blue-10);
  margin-block-start: 0;
  padding-block: clamp(rem(80), 16vw, rem(160));
  padding-inline: var(--container-spacing);

  .heading {
    text-align: center;
  }

  .gridContainer {
    container-name: grid-test;
    container-type: inline-size;
    display: grid;
    gap: clamp(rem(16), 4vw, rem(32));
    grid-template-columns: repeat(2, 1fr);
    justify-content: center;
    margin-block: 0;
    margin-block-start: 10px;
    max-inline-size: rem(1400);
    padding-block: clamp(rem(32), 6vw, rem(64));
    padding-inline: rem(16);

    @container grid-test (width > calc(40ch * 4)) {
      grid-template-columns: repeat(4, 1fr);
    }

    .box {
      align-items: center;
      background-color: var(--color-background, #fff);
      block-size: 100%;
      border-radius: rem(15);
      box-shadow: 0 rem(4) rem(6) rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.1);
      box-sizing: border-box;
      display: flex;
      flex-direction: column;
      justify-content: space-between;
      padding: clamp(rem(24), 4vw, rem(40));
      text-align: center;
      transition: all 0.3s ease;

      &:hover {
        box-shadow: 0 rem(6) rem(12) rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.15);
        transform: translateY(rem(-5));
      }
    }
  }
}

you haven't specified what you want to apply the grid-template-columns to. you'd need to do something like this. Container queries are like media queries where you have to do this.

 @container grid-test (width > calc(40ch * 4)) {
  .gridContainer {
    grid-template-columns: repeat(4, 1fr);
  }
 }

 @container grid-test (width > calc(40ch * 4)) {
  .gridContainer {
    grid-template-columns: repeat(4, 1fr);
  }
 }

Even then, that won't work because you can't apply styles to the parent container with the container query. That's why @media works and this doesn't. It has to be a child of the parent that is the container. I'd wrap .gridContainer in a div and make that div the container, then apply the styles to .gridContainer like in my example since it would then be the child.
