I've tried to move the margin but it just keeps moving everything to the left, how can I play around with the margin?

18,068 PointsThe margin isn't something that you move on its own. You do however expand and contract a margin around an element. There are several margin properties you can apply to an element's margin such as margin, margin-bottom, margin-top, margin-left, and margin-right. If your elements are moving to the left that means there is a margin-right value. example:
p {
margin-right: 10px;
}
