Recently changed lens, camera now won't focus further than 20-30 ft.

I have had a Sony W290 camera for about a year and a half now. Last month, the lens cover got jammed, and since the lens already had fingerprints on it I went ahead and ordered a brand new replacement off eBay. I installed it following a detailed guide, using the ccd sensor from my original camera.

Your CCD can not be involved with that problem or all your pictures would have that problem. The problem is in your optics or the mechanism operating them. More than likely since it had been jammed the motor or gears moving them. My first thought is that the system uses something to count the motors revolutions as part of the focus control. When you installed the new lens the motor may not have been retracted all the way. I would try to reseat the optics, it sounds like you are part of a revolution, perhaps a tooth in a gear off.
