Survey123 Required Asterick Posting Below Question Label

Question

Hi everyone, I'm designing a survey and the asterisk for the required questions keeps posting in a new row, below the text for each question. I'm using an XLS form and I have html formatting throughout the spreadsheet. Has anyone else run into this problem? This issue doesn't show up in Survey123 Connect, but when I go to publish the survey, the asterisk is in a new row.
