Featured image causes page layout issues

Hi Folks, I’m a dinosaur newbie trying to sort a bewildering issue with setting my featured image in a post. I write my text and format it – insert an image gallery and preview – everything fine. As soon as I set my featured image and preview, all my text and image gallery has been aligned to the right in a long column rather than wrapping around the featured image. The two previous blog post featured images load directly beneath the new full size blog post image as thumbnails. This makes for a very confusing layout. As soon as I remove the featured image on my new post and preview, the text and gallery are fine and the previous post images are gone.I cannot figure out how to solve this issue – do I need a plugin? Or am I simply doing something fundamentally wrong?
