I think you will need to show us your code to get useful help (see the posting guide). A small subset of your data and a reprex may also be needed. R has several different graphics systems, and the answer depends on which you are using. In base graphics, the axis() function (see its Help page) may be what you need, but that's just a guess. Others may be able to be more specific.
