When asking design questions like this, I can help more if there is a link to the page with the issue.
Look at the page in chrome, right click on the area and select inspect element. That should let you see everything that is affecting that area.
If the adjustment you are making, is working to fix the issue, but is affecting other areas as well, than you can assign a wrapper div to that section, so as to customize it individually.
For instance I have this html code:
<div class="mydiv">Some text</div>
I have this css:
.mydiv {
margin-left: 250px;
}
But I use mydiv in lots of different places, and I just want to change one instance of it. So I wrap it like this:
<div class="special"><div class="mydiv">Some text</div></div>
And I add this css:
.special .mydiv {
margin-left: 0px;
}
