AutoLayout and Embedded stackview constraint conflicts

hoping someone can point me in the right direction here.

I have a layout I'm trying to build with a vertical stackview. Stackview is pinned at the left, top and right edges of view at 0. I have a horizontal stackview inside which has 3 images all 30x30 that I want left aligned. (Not spaced out across horizontal stack.)

XCode continues to give me conflicting constraints errors here. I believe its because it wants my stackview to be at 100% of outer vertical stack view width. I can add in a random view that stretches and it fixes the problem, but this seems VERY clunky.

What's the best approach for this?

Did you set the Alignment property of the Vertical StackView to Leading? - DonMag
@DonMag - Good idea! I just set it to leading for vertical stack view. Unfortunately it did not resolve my auto-layout errors. - James Scott
@DonMag - Correction, I may have made a mistake... I think you have solved this for me! Crossing my fingers here... - James Scott
Can you post a screen shot? As far as I can tell, this is what you were after, and I get no auto layout warnings or errors (I used labels instead of image views, but that would have no effect)... imgur.com/a/DBCO4 - DonMag

So, @DonMag has answered my question - The vertical stack view should be leading which will not force every horizontal stack view inside to expand to its width. Thanks @DonMag!
