Possibly change it to an @ instead of & ?

You need to add the overlay name to the background. So try this: EXT. EMMAS ROOM - DAY with EMMAS ARM

Have you tried adding more specifications? Your overlay may be behind a certain layer, at opacity 0 or in a different zone.

&overlay EMMAS ARM create
&overlay EMMAS ARM scales to 1.000 1.000 in zone 1 in 0
&overlay EMMAS ARM shifts to 0 0 in zone 1 in 0
&overlay EMMAS ARM opacity 1 in 0
&overlay EMMAS ARM to layer 1

You can use these codes in you’d like to and substitute the coordinates, sizing, zone number etc to fit your scene. Alternatively, you can add it to your background:

INT. BACKGROUND with EMMAS ARM to 1.000 0 0 in zone 1 at layer 1
