Why is the navigationItem.leftBarButtonItem not showing up on the left?

Question

I have set up a navigationBar and i'm trying to a PNG to the left as a leftBarButtonItem but it's showing up on the middle of the navigationBar.

private func configureNavBar() {
    var image = UIImage(named: "netflixLogo") // PNG
    image = image?.withRenderingMode(.alwaysOriginal)
    //self.navigationController?.navigationBar.topItem?.leftBarButtonItem = UIBarButtonItem(image: image, style: .done, target: self, action: nil) This didn't work either.
    
    navigationItem.leftBarButtonItem = UIBarButtonItem(image: image, style: .done, target: self, action: nil)
    
    //These buttons are working, they are on the right side.
    navigationItem.rightBarButtonItems = [
        UIBarButtonItem(image: UIImage(systemName: "person"), style: .done, target: self, action: nil),
        UIBarButtonItem(image: UIImage(systemName: "play.rectangle"), style: .done, target: self, action: nil),
    ]
    
    navigationController?.navigationBar.tintColor = .white
}

This is what i see on the simulator: enter image description here

Answer 1

It's on the left, but the image is just too wide and tall for the nav bar so is displayed aspect fitted in the center of its bounds
