Changing projection of tif file in QGIS to UTM not changing buffer from degrees to meters

I changed my tif file’s projection from QGIS standard EPSG WGS84 to UTM zone 17N (my sites are in southern Ontario) in hopes of finally being able to add buffers using a 500m buffer. It is still stuck on degrees. The projection on my files at the bottom says EPSG:32617 which should be the WGS 84/ UTM zone 17N projection. I understand that this needed to be done to go from degrees to a metric system but it’s not working. Any help would be appreciated!
