Placing characters in front and behind counters

I want to have my character but something from a café, but I can’t seem to get her in front of the counter and the cashier behind the counter. This is my script so far:

INT. BAKERY NO OL - DAY with COUNTER BAKERY in zone 2

@pan to zone 2

@DANILO spot 1.298 156 4

@overlay COUNTER BAKERY shifts to -320 -1
@overlay COUNTER BAKERY scales to 1.000 1.000

@ALEX walks to screen center in zone 2 at layer 3

it would be amazing if someone could help. Thank you <3

Okay, try:
@(the person behind the counter) moves to layer -5
@overlay COUNTER BAKERY moves to layer -3
@(the person in front of the counter) moves to layer 1

I’m pretty sure to move layers for an overlay is @overlay OVERLAYNAME shifts to layer #

Maybe, I was just using what I know from my head…

INT. BAKERY NO OL - DAY with COUNTER BAKERY in zone 2 at layer 6
@ALEX walks to screen center in zone 2 at layer 5
@overlay NAME create
@overlay NAME opacity 1 in 0

INT. BAKERY NO OL - DAY with COUNTER BAKERY
@cut to zone 2
@DANILO spot 1.298 156 4 in zone 2 at layer 0

@overlay COUNTER BAKERY shifts to -320 -1 in zone 2
@overlay COUNTER BAKERY scales to 1.000 1.000 in zone 2 at layer 2

@overlay COUNTER BAKERY moves to layer 1
ALEX walks to screen center in zone 2 at layer 3

Idk if this works, but just try
