Top layers are showing up below others

I'm working on a super simple composition where I'm trying to show data sources feeding into a central location (computer in the middle), and for some reason my top few layers showing up below all of my other layers. Take a look at my screenshots. Any thoughts on how to fix this? None of the layers are 3D layers. I've purged all memory an disk cache, closed the file and reopened it, and it's still happening. I don't know if I'm just blind and completely missing something super obvious or if this is some sort of bug. What's even weirder is that when I turn the background layer on (layer 52 in 3rd screenshot) it goes on top of the first 3 layers, but none of the others. I feel like I'm losing my mind. Appreciate any thoughts.

    not exactly sure what's going on but if it was super simple, you would have a few layers and not track matte or blend modes applied that can both affect your composite and it's hard for us to tell what's going on.

    your graphic is set to overlay and using an alpha matte so I would start there to examine

    then I would isolate the issue and start removing layers until I get to the core of the problem.
