How to text-align an svg element inside a div
I would just like to know why text-align: right is not moving the svg to the right? It is moving the button to the right. I need the svg to sit above the button on the right.
svg {
display: block
}
polygon {
fill: red;
}
.main {
width: 100%;
background-color: green;
text-align: right;
}<div class="main">
<svg height="20" width="20">
<polygon points="10,0 20,20 0,20"/>
</svg>
<button>Test</button>
</div>html css

It's because you have the SVG as a block level element. Block's don't text-align. You could float it right, or just simply give it display: inline-block. See below.
svg {
display: inline-block
}
polygon {
fill: red;
}
.main {
width: 100%;
background-color: green;
text-align: right;
}<div class="main">
<svg height="20" width="20">
<polygon points="10,0 20,20 0,20"/>
</svg>
<div>
<button>Test</button>
</div>
</div>Edit: You can wrap the button in a div (a block level element). Alternatively, you can just put in a line-break (br) in between the two elements.

svg is not moving right as you are aligning any text as right, not svg as it is set as display: Block instead of display: inline-block;
try:
float: right;
on the svg.

As you have editted your post and you want both objects on the right side above eachother I have added one extra div arround it. This div will float:right; which means that it'll be positioned to the right side of the page.
Everything in the div will just position under each other.
.right-section { float:right; }
svg { margin-left:10px; display:block; }
polygon {
fill: red;
}
.main {
width: 100%;
background-color: green;
text-align: right;
}<div class="main">
<div class="right-section">
<svg height="20" width="20">
<polygon points="10,0 20,20 0,20"/>
</svg>
<button>Test</button>
</div>
</div>I have also added margin-left:10px; to the svg { } to make sure the arrow is in the center of the button.

@Eric has explained you well why SVG is not moving to the right.
Another solution to resolve your problem is to use flexbox.
/*svg {
display: block
}*/
polygon {
fill: red;
}
.main {
width: 100%;
background-color: green;
/* I added only these rules */
display: flex;
flex-direction: column;
align-items: flex-end;
}
/*svg {
display: block
}*/
polygon {
fill: red;
}
.main {
width: 100%;
background-color: green;
display: flex;
flex-direction: column;
align-items: flex-end;
}<div class="main">
<svg height="20" width="20">
<polygon points="10,0 20,20 0,20"/>

@Eric has explained you well why SVG is not moving to the right.
Another solution to resolve your problem is to use flexbox.
/*svg {

polygon {
fill: red;
}
.main {
width: 100%;
background-color: green;
/* I added only these rules */
display: flex;
flex-direction: column;
