Overlays are not where they are supposed to be

Um hi, if the Episode team is ever gonna see this, I just want to let them know that whenever I place my overlays where I want them to BE, they move somewhere else for absolute no reason. This is not only a recurring thing in the Web’s Previewer, but also in the app itself and it’s quite annoying, to be frank. I don’t know if I’m doing something wrong with the coding or this is a genuine glitch/bug on the app, but it’s starting to bother me. This didn’t happen to me before and I used to exact same coding I used for my previous overlays that I’m using for my current overlays. Is there a way I can fix this or anyone else can?
Thank you.

No, it was both.

The teardrop one you need to place in the correct zone. And the blood one I’m not sure.

I will try that, thanks. The blood one is a rare case. Lol

Might want to submit a help ticket to the support team in case the blood one still isn’t working properly. :smiley:
