z-index only applies to positioned elements — it does nothing on a
position: staticelement (the default). Give it position: relative/absolute/fixed/sticky (or make it a flex/grid item, which also participate in z-index). Also watch for a parent that creates a new stacking context (transform, opacity < 1, filter), which traps the child's z-index inside that context.
