I'm very new to photography so this could be an easy fix I'm not tracking, but I also can't find anything relating to the issue on Google. My problem is that I am running a Nikon D5300 with a Nikkor 18-55mm 3.5-5.6 lens and as of today I have limited adjustability of my aperture in manual and aperture-priority mode. I can fully rotate the aperture dial on the lens, but the aperture reading on the camera will only adjust from 5-5.6 (I visually confirmed the aperture is only adjusting in this range). However, in shutter-priority and auto mode the lens will fully adjust from 3.5-5.6, and I can fully open the aperture with the lever on the back of the lens. There are no loose parts as far as I can tell in the lens, and everything in the body looks fine. Any ideas as to why I can't fully adjust my aperture would be greatly appreciated!
