In particular with \LaTeX{}, it can help if you create an MWE (minimal working example) when working with new things, to rule out interference from other bits of code.
For example, the preamble to this document is currently 135 lines. (This includes blank lines to make it easy to scan.) But if I were trying to diagnose some page layout issues with the \texttt{geometry} package, an MWE might look like this:
\begin{Verbatim}[frame=lines, numbers=left, xleftmargin=5mm, framesep=3mm, breaklines=true, label=MWE Example]
\documentclass[twoside, 9pt]{extreport}
\usepackage[
paperheight=8.5in,
paperwidth=5.5in,
margin=0.5in
]{geometry}
\usepackage{lipsum}
\begin{document}
\lipsum[1-20]
\end{document}
\end{Verbatim}
I now have 11 lines to deal with instead of the current 1,129 lines I have. This means I am focused solely on solving this issue with the \texttt{geometry} package and nothing else. If I suspect that another package is causing the problem, I can always add in that package and run a test with it. And because I am only loading two packages, the pdf compiles very quickly.
