Indesign document cut off when exporting to PDF (print)

Hi, every time I export my InDesign documents as a PDF (Print) the right side of the document is cut off by a white band which happens on all of the pages. I was wondering if anyone knew how to solve this problem? This has only recently occurred when exporting my files and I have already tried uninstalling the InDesign app and downloading it again.

Export another PDF and this time turn on marks and bleed in the export dialog. Let's see what that screenshot looks like.

Also, take a screenshot of the InDesign layout.

I'm not sure if I have done what you have asked correctly, I am still new to Indesign but here are the images.

I changed the settings and it is now presenting the full document clearly although there are some small squares in the corners. Additionally, the pts was set up like this when I first downloaded InDesign and I haven't changed this since I've started using the software.
