I am attempting to change my desktop theme in Kubuntu, the latest version. I go to the desktop theme module and select the theme I want to use. I then click apply. The only thing that changes is the bottom bar and the area around the home folder and trash folder. The desktop background does not change. It seems simple to me but it appears that I am doing something wrong. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

As Rinzwind pointed out in a comment, you need to right-click on the desktop:
Click on Configure Desktop ...
You'll see something like this if you have the Wallpaper tab selected:
There, you can choose your wallpaper type which could be static or animated or just a plain color. You can also use your own images by clicking on Add Image.
You can also download additional wallpapers from the KDE Store as shown in the next image:
As you've found out, going into System Settings isn't the way to change the desktop wallpaper.
The images I've put up may differ from what you see on your system because I'm on Kubuntu 19.04 with the kubuntu-backports ppa enabled. This gives me KDE Plasma 15.6.0 which has quite a few changes from the KDE Plasma that comes with Kubuntu 19.04 by default.
