CollectionViewController doesn't abide by layoutMargins or top NSCollectionLayoutGroup.contentInsets

I'm trying to inset my content in my CollectionViewController subclass, and I'm not sure how to do it.

First I tried updating the collectionView.layoutMargins, but that did nothing to how the cells are laid out. It seems like epoxy ignores the layoutMargins.

Second, I tried modifying my UICollectionViewCompositionalLayout and modified the group content insets as such:
group.contentInsets = .init(top: 20, leading: 20, bottom: 0, trailing: 20)
This seemed to work for the leading and trailing sides, but the top had no effect on pushing the first cell down.

Any insight on how to lower my top cell without adding a margin to the first cell itself?

Hi Dylan! I would recommend using the additionalSafeAreaInsets.top of the CollectionViewController to adjust the insets of the CollectionView within. This is how the bar installers work under the hood as well. It should allow you to inset the first cell.

Hi Eric! That's what I needed, thanks!
