Can anyone tell me why this shows up this way?

This is in tpl_product_info_display.php and then a bit of css

Ok, i know nothing about css, so could someone please elaborate? i know it can't be that difficult for someone who is familiar with this stuff...

http://www.w3schools.com/

Post a url for assistance as many of us will not even post if there is not a site to see live.
pics only show the problem and do not lead to the solution

Ok, to remove some of the spacing, without having to do any rearranging in the template, you can change ".wrapperAttribsOptions" in your stylesheet to this:

.wrapperAttribsOptions {
margin: 0;
}

Then change "#cartAdd" to this:

#cartAdd {
float: right;
text-align: center;
margin: 0;
border: 1px solid #000000;
padding: 1em;
}

Changing the "padding:1em;" to "padding:0" will remove even more space, however then you lose the padding for the cart box, however if you also remove the border:1px solid #000000; it would look fine.

Ok I did all of that to /htdocs/catalog/includes/templates/RDA_zen/css/stylesheet.css
and it had absolutely no effect whatsoever. Did i modify the wrong file?

You have to actually REPLACE the #cartAdd and .wrapperAttribsOptions that are already there. Right now you have both the old and the new, so its using the old.

OK now that made it change, still not perfect but much better! Thank you so much! I wonder why the old stylesheet would have an effect on it like that? one of those quirks of programming i guess...

again, many thanks...

No, not a quirk, the way zen cart works. If a stylesheet_*.css file is on the server in the correct folder, then zen cart will use it. That way, people can have more than one stylesheet.
