If you have the capability of turning off auto focus on either the lens or the camera, that would allow you to set the focus where you want. The other, and I'm not a Canon user, would probably be a menu item covering focus. It could be a focus warning setting.

Could this be what is going on with the flicker?
Canon EOS Rebel T6i / 750D. You have the option of enabling Flicker Detection from Rebel T6i/750D's Setup Menu 2. This warns you if the camera detects flickering lights that could cause exposure problems. ... (Technically, the camera is designed to detect flickering at 100Hz or 120Hz.)
Check to see if this is turned on in your settings.
And the focus is looking for a point of contrast. If there is no definite contrast line or the light is too low it will have an issue focusing (like to trying to focus on a solid color smooth surface). Or could you be to close to the subject for it to focus, the closest the lens will focus is approx 1.5 feet.

How deep is your depth of field? If you can stop down a bit, you might be able to use manual focus, not your focus point and get fairly decent shots with zone focusing.

I’m not a Canon user, but if you were shooting under fluorescent lights that may be the problem. Check your manual for fluorescent flicker control. Just a guess.

Exactly right. Flicker in the viewfinder of a Canon is warning you it has detected flicker in the light source and that the camera will do it’s best to delay the exposure to coincide with the peak light output from the light source.
Obtain a manual in PDF form and you can find these answers by searching the PDF. Then read through your manual several times over the next few months with the camera in your lap. Search Canon Owner’s manual in Google.
