I own the 2014 player’s handbook, dungeon master’s guide, and monster manual. (fifth edition) I got them all for a birthday a while ago, and have since started using dnd beyond. However, dnd beyond not knowing that I own those books means that I am restricted from many sub-classes, etc., that I really wish to have. Buying the knew 5.5e books through the website isn’t preferable because I am tight on money. Any suggestions?

The digital versions on D&D Beyond are separate products from the physical books and owning one doesn't give you access to the other.
If you don't want to purchase the digital books, you can join a campaign where someone is sharing them.
There are only two ways (currently) to get the digital copies other than just buying them straight out:
1. If one person has a master tier subscription in a campaign and activates it for that campaign, then everyone's books in that campaign are shared with everyone in that campaign. Depending on the number of books, this may be a cheaper option.
2. You can buy them bundled together, so you get a DDB copy as well as a physical one, from WotC. That's of little use to you after they've been bought, I'm afraid, and depending on where you are (as well as what you're buying), the discount may be marginal or even worse than buying them separately - or not even available. But, it might be worth looking into.

Thanks a lot for that information! I’ll go check the store prices.

You can also use your physical books to recreate elements you want to use using the homebrew tools.
