Illustrator file when placed inside another Illustrator file, opacity mask is ignored

I've create a vector logo that uses 2 opacity masks to prevent vector objects from touching. When placing that logo inside an Illustrator layout, it seems to ignore the layer masks completely, showing the underlying masked areas instead of hiding them.

Can you please share an explainer video for the same, and if you can share the artwork with us, it would help us retrace the issue?
