I am trying to modify the altacv class in order to make a similar class for a motivation letter.
In the header I am using two minipages, one with full \textwidth for the name and current position and the other with reduced \textwidth, in order to have one contact information for each line. The second minipage is below the first and is supposed to align right in the same way, but it does not:
Here is the part of the class where the command for the header is defined:
\newcommand{\makemlheader}{%
\begingroup
\begin{minipage}{\textwidth}
\raggedleft\color{emphasis}%
{\Huge\bfseries{\@name}\par}
\bigskip
{\large\bfseries\color{accent}\@tagline\par}
\end{minipage}
\begin{flushright}
\begin{minipage}{0.3\textwidth}
\medskip
\raggedleft
{\normalsize\bfseries\@personalinfo\par}
\end{minipage}
\end{flushright}
\endgroup\medskip
}
I have tried with several combinations of flushright environment, \hfill and \raggedleft, but I do not get a perfect alignment to the right. Does anyone have a suggestion?
Here is the main:
\documentclass[10pt,a4paper]{altaml}
\usepackage{multicol}
\usepackage{eurosym}
\usepackage{lmodern}
\usepackage[hidelinks]{hyperref}
% Change the page layout if you need to
\geometry{left=2cm,right=2cm,top=2cm,bottom=2cm}
% Change the font if you want to.
% If using pdflatex:

\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage[default]{lato}
% If using xelatex or lualatex:
% \setmainfont{Lato}
% Change the colours if you want to

\colorlet{accent}{ScienceBlue}
\colorlet{emphasis}{SlateGrey}
\colorlet{body}{LightGrey}
% Change the bullets for itemize and rating marker
% for \cvskill if you want to
\renewcommand{\itemmarker}{{\small\textbullet}}
\renewcommand{\ratingmarker}{\faCircle}
\begin{document}
