The (transparent) transaction you've referenced shows ~60 ZEC involved – 29 ZEC goes to one address (which I assume is your intended target), and 31.18280018 ZEC to another 2nd address.
Normally, such a 2nd address is an autogenerated address that's already managed by your own wallet software. Most payments need to unlock more source ZEC (from multiple earlier transactions) than you're sending to an intentional target, and any excess (aka 'change') is then returned to another address under your control. The best practice for transparent-addresses (as in either Bitcoin or ZCash t-addresses) is to avoid reusing old addresses, so each change address is new & unique.
You won't see this change value associated with your original address (as if looking at that address on ZChain etc), but you should see it in whatever software generated the transaction, which will be managing change addresses along with any addresses you specifically created or imported. That software should recognize (and be able to spend) the change amount.
If you launch (and allow to catch up to the blockchain) the wallet software that sent the transaction, do you then see the expected remaining balance? If so, those ZEC remain under your wallet software's management. (Be sure to keep that software & its data both backed-up & updated.)
