The clock on my chart is correct and shows EST time; same as my computer. But when I display session breaks for U.S. indices, it shows a session start time of 21:00 which is 9pm. The new session start time after the close of market at 5pm, is 6pm EST or 18:00. How do I fix this?

Check your Session Times and ensure they are set the way you want them to be. Refer to the following:
Chart Session Times

Also check the Chart Time Zone setting to ensure that it is set to the time zone you want (most likely the Global Time Zone, which you would then want to check to make sure it is set properly). Refer to the following:
Chart Settings: Time Zone (List) (Chart >> Chart Settings >> Session Times menu)

And the following for the Global Time Zone:
