How to add more homepage content via WP Bakery

Hi! I’m very new to WordPress and website design, so I apologise if this is a simple question.
I’m in the process of customising my homepage for a magazine website, and am trying to add a column featuring “Trending” articles to the RIGHT of the first block. Please see this photo for a screenshot: https://imgur.com/a/QxmMxCX
WP Bakery is only letting me insert a row above/below the current row, not a column to the right.
Also, how do you alter what content appears for each “block”? For instance, I want the “Trending” block to display the content that is trending, and other blocks, for instance a “comedy” block, to display only comedy-related content.
Thanks.
