Hi Cindy,
I see that you installed ochJSsocials. ochJSsocials put sharing buttons on the page: with these buttons you can share a page on e.g. Facebook.
What happens next is that Facebook visits the page you shared and extracts information from it: title, description, image.
For finding the correct image, facebook first looks if the page provides OpenGraph metatags: e.g. the og:image metatag provides the image that facebook will use.
If no OpenGraph metatags are on the page, facebook will try to figure it out by itself: normally it will take the page title and some text for the description, and for the image it will take the first image it finds on the page that meets the requirements.
Now to your site
You have installed ochJSsocials > now you have the buttons with which your visitors can easily share the page to the social media platforms, but was is missing is a plugin like ochOpenGraph that lets you manually / automatically provide the OpenGraph metatags on the page. (not only for facebook, but also for twitter / linkedin / whatsapp / etc.
here is the link to ochOpenGraph: onlinecommunityhub.nl/joomla-extensions/ochopengraph
This is a very powerful and highly customizable plugin. There are also free OpenGraph plugins available that maybe are sufficient for your site. That is something you need to 'play' with / investigate.
and also: please note that once shared, Facebook stores it all in their own cache, so even if you add the opengraph metatags it will still display the old image. You need to use the Facebook sharing debugger to refresh the facebook cache

does this make sense Cindy?
feel free to ask if things are not clear or i can help in any way.
regards,
Ruud.
