This typically is a CSS issue.
Without a link to your site we cannot assist in most CSS issues.
To discover what CSS is output by your theme, use a web inspection tool such as Firebug: http://getfirebug.com/ , Chrome Inspect Element: https://developers.google.com/chrome-developer-tools/ or Internet Explorer 9+ F12 Dev. Tools: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd565627(v=vs.85).aspx#csstool
There are others.
When editing CSS, use a Child Theme
http://codex.ww.wp.xz.cn/Child_Themes
Custom CSS Plugin, or Theme provided custom CSS option.
Edits to parent themes are lost on theme update.
Learn CSS: http://www.w3schools.com/css/
im using a free theme and have already made 80% of my site. Isnt it too late for a child theme? Also is there even a point on a free theme, since updates proabably arent supported anyway?
If its a css issue cant a minor change to the stylesheet fix this?

#logo {
float: left;

#logo h2,
#logo h1 {
margin: 0 !important;
line-height: 1em !important;
font-size: 36px;
font-weight: bold;
font-style: normal;
}
#logo h2 a,
#logo h1 a {
color: #FFF;
text-decoration: none;
}
#logo h2 a:hover,
#logo h1 a:hover { color: #FFF }
#top-ad{
position: absolute;
top: 20px;
right: 0px;
}
Ive tried altering the positions, deleting them all together, removing width100%. Cant figure it out
The ww.wp.xz.cn support forums are meant for the core application, themes and plugins that are distributed on ww.wp.xz.cn. We do not support themes downloaded from elsewhere.
so what? im not asking for a re-write of my entire theme. Just pretend im using twentytwelve or something. Im sure the generic structure of how to fix the problem is the same or similar.

If you can replicate the problem in Twenty Twelve for example, with all plugins deactivated, please link us to that. You probably can’t because CSS issues are theme-specific.
