category child pages display is diffferent

-- HikaShop version -- : 2.5.0
-- Joomla version -- : 3.4.3
-- PHP version -- : 5.4.40
-- Browser(s) name and version -- : Firefox 39.0.3

On my home page, I have the categories for all categories displayed. When i click on an item, it goes to the category that lists the subcategories in that category, and the url has category/ (name of category, ie http://domainname/category/all-natural-beef-selections).Then if I click on a subcategory, it lists the products, and again the url has category/ (name of subcategory, ie http://domainname/category/gourmet-beef-cuts.
I also have a sidebar menu that links directly to the individual category and subcategories. The url on those pages include the category name (for category page, ie. http://domainname/beef) and category name/subcategory name (for subcategory pages ie. http://domainname/beef/gourmet-beef-cuts).
The layout is different on the 2 ways to reach those pages. I want them consistent, but I don't know what is dictating the size of the image and margins on the pages that have the url with category/ in it.

Any help would be appreciated.
