Customizr Child Theme CSS not working???

Hello, this is a very similar problem to the one posted about 7 weeks ago and has a status of not resolved.
I am using the Customizr theme. I have created the Child theme using the childify me plugin and activated it. I have code in the parent css file which changes the color of the text on the menu. I took the code out of the parent css file and pasted it directly into the child css file using a file manager plugin. The menu no longer has the changed colour after refreshing the website. I take the code back out of the child css file and paste it back into the parent css file and the menu works fine. I then take it back out of the parent css and back into the child css and it doesn’t work but just defaults back to the site color. I do this repetition 3 times with it working in the parent css but not in the child css. I have also tried important! and that makes no difference. I recreate the child theme and still no change.
Any ideas?
Thank you
