Having issues with having an image come up behind my background when i hover over an icon.

so i had this working and then i changed my background(i changed the cut to make it look better), saved the file and it doesn't work anymore.
So if i set my load order for my steam icon and my cut out background properly it will work, but then when i refresh and do the same with my battle.net icon it will break my steam icon load orders but battle.net will work.
e.g
1.fiddle with steam icon settings so steam works
2.hover over steam icon, image appears behind background
3.fiddle with battle.net so it works
4.hover over battle.net icon, image appears behind background
5.hover over steam, steam image appears as foreground
6.vice versa until i pull all my hair out.
Cut out background settings(to place infront of image)
status:loaded
keep on screen check
save position check
snap to edges check
click through,draggable,favourite unchecked
position: on desktop
load order:0
Images that go behind cutout background settings when i hover over icon:
status:unloaded
save position, snap to edge. checked
click through, keep on screen, favourite. unchecked
position:on desktop
load order: -1
I've tried deleting all my folders related to this and re-doing it all from scratch and it did not work.
i've tried changing the load order values from -1,0 to 0,1 and 1,2
i've tried changing image formats
i've tried closing rainmeter completely down
i've tried refreshing after every step
i've tried manually loading the cutout after every image and that didnt work either
i've tried crying lots to no avail
i havent tried changing my background back to what it was because i saved over the 1st cutout with this 2nd better cutout so i only really have one file.
curently all image files are .jpg although i did try the cutout in .png and that didnt work either.

i followed this tutorial https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g4IjPDMWezg

Sorry for the very late reply.

I'm not sure I entirely understood everything you've written here, but first thing would be to pack the config you have and upload it, please. Then we'll see...
