I have z-index set to 9999 but it is still hiding behind a banner image.

Z-index only works on elements with a specified position (relative, absolute, fixed, sticky). Also, check your stacking context—if a parent element has a lower z-index and `overflow: hidden`, it will clip the child regardless.
