Answer choices appear squished in form field

I have a "form field" question with 4 fields in it. The text of each field appears extremely squished up against the other fields. I've tried looking up how to add spacing and found this https://community.qualtrics.com/XMcommunity/discussion/3096/how-can-i-change-the-spacing-on-form-elements-and-boxes which describes the same visual appearance issue I am having. I looked at the answers provided there, but I am not seeing "Click here to edit form fields." I'm using the Survey Builder and don't know where I'd edit HTML.

You can add the HTML directly into the statement labels! So if you had
"Company Name & Address this is a super long label woooooooow"
it becomes
"
Company Name & Address this is a super long label woooooooow
"
and see what that looks like. If your labels are not too terribly long, I've added the css property 'nowrap' to statements before so everything sits on a single line:
jQuery("#" + this.questionId + " .QuestionBody").css("white-space","nowrap");
