Welcome Scooby. Not sure we can answer your question with the information given. Perhaps you can upload a photo taken at 18mm and the same shot at 55mm for comparison. Pick an object that is not too distant (like a doorway or a plant). Take a shot at 18mm, then without moving the camera, zoom to 55mm and take a second shot.

I'm not sure if I understand your question Scooby. But, maybe, just maybe, if you are using the screen in live-view for taking your picture you might just be zooming on the screen. Are you actually turning the zoom ring on the lens? Or are you just zooming with the + button on the camera back? Zooming with the + button just zooms on the image in the screen while zooming with the lens actually zooms for real.
