Answers.Text: Thanks for pointing this out. None of the files being reference in these errors exists on my server, and I tried a fresh install and am getting the same error. I'm noticing that they are all the files that were in the civicrm.zip file contained in the Administrator folder on the install file. I'm considering trying to just upload those manually to where they are looking for them.

Answers.Text: Don't do that - it'll be a configuration setting that tells civicrm where it should be looking for these files. For me it's at a path like this: /civicrm/admin/setting/url?reset=1, yours will looks similar. You can also set it in the civicrm.settings.php file if you're good with editing that file.

  I have a fresh CiviCRM install on my test server and the frontend is displaying incorrectly as if it can't read the CSS
  Here is a test event: <http://node01.tmdhosting983.com/~agsmca/index.php?option=com_civicrm&task=civicrm/event/info&reset=1&id=1>
  
  I can't seem to find the problem, is my Joomla theme overriding it?
  
  **RESOLVED**
  
  So it turns out that I was missing a whole folder on my server. The zipped civicrm folder in the installation files under the admin folder didn't install properly (even though my PHP has zip enabled and CiviCRM was installed by a professional and reinstalled by a professional).
  
  The solution is to take manually unzip civicrm.zip from the asmin folder in the install folder you used to install CiviCRM, then manually upload these into your Joomla folder/components/com\_civicrm in a new folder named "civicrm"
  
  Here is a screenshot of the resolved page:
