Thanks! I’ll give that a shot, I’ve already attempted looking at mars with a 20mm lens, and it didn’t go amazingly. Is the zoom better on smaller lenses?

Zooms work great and the best way to not only see things but to get to know your telescope is just to experiment. Just find an object like Mars and play with different zooms and lenses.
