Can't get overlays to work/show

[ManuS86]

Hey anyone else had any issues with implementing overlays for like/dislike on swipe?
The way I understood the very sparse instructions I added the fragments as shown in the documentation into my item as 2 topmost layers and added an imageResource to each and properly resized and place them within the framelayout from the overlay and set their alpha to 0.5.
is there anything else i need to do in the code to make them work and if so what?
I cant figure out what i am doing wrong.
thanks in advance if anyone can help.

edit figured it out with help of AI eventually.
