How to reduce top indent in module for Joomla?

Question

css

Guys, hello. Tell me what's the matter - there is a module that displays tags, there is its style, written in the style of the template. I can increase the indent between the module name and the content, but not decrease it. Himself a noob, but before asking, he tried to figure it out himself. Does not work.
Screenshot:

Module code:

<?php defined('_JEXEC') or die;
$query = 'select count(*) as kolvo,name from #__tag_term_content as tc inner join #__tag_term as t on t.id=tc.tid  group by(tid) order by name';
$db = JFactory::getDBO();
$db->setQuery($query);
$terms= $db->loadObjectList();
echo '<ul class="taglist">'; 
foreach ($terms as $term) {
  $term->link=JRoute::_('index.php?option=com_tag&task=tag&tag='.urlencode($term->name));
    echo	'<li>'.
          '<a href="'.$term->link.'">'.
            $term->name.
          '</a>'.
          '<span>Статей: '.
            $term->kolvo.
          '</span>'.
        '</li>';
};
echo '</ul>'; 
?>

Style code:

.taglist, .taglist * {
  margin:0;
  padding:0;
  list-style:none;
}
.taglist li {
  margin:5px;
  display:inline-block;
}

Upd. I changed the style a little myself - cut out the amount of materials, experimented with padding and margin.
Initially, the module displays tags in the form of a horizontal list with bullets, style is needed to get rid of this.

Answer 1

Everything should work for you, margin in .taglist li {...} adjusts the horizontal distance.

Answer 2

The above code is working properly, add the html and css code here, exactly with the div where the tag cloud lies
