This is most likely due to the fact that your previous template was using different module positions to the new template you are now using.
All you need to do is simply open each of the modules that are not displaying as they should and assign them to a position that belongs to your new template.
For example, the default Joomla 3.x template (Protostar) uses position-7 for the right hand side, however another template may use sidebar-a.
To find out the module positions for your template have a look at the Demo and on the main menu, go to Features >> Module Positions:
