Video banner overlay issue - Dawn 2024

Hello I am having an issue with a custom video banner that I have used. Everything works well on the video banner other then the overlay features. I have included the code that I have used for the video banner and wanted to see if someone can help me create an overlay. In the code there is an overlay but on the function in the custom side of shopify the overlay does not do anything even with 100 percent overlay applied .I did some research and from prior posts saw that people had placed a code in the base.css file, but when I had applied that it did not work. I have pasted the bass.css file that I found on prior posts incase that is relevant. Thank you for your assistance looking forward to help 🙂 

 

 

Video banner code( Liquid file) 

{%- if section.blocks.size > 0 -%}
{%- for block in section.blocks -%}
{%- assign img_url = block.settings.image | img_url: '1x1' | replace: '_1x1.', '_{width}x.' -%}
 
{% if block.type == 'video' %}
<div class="videoBox" style="{%- if block.settings.video_link == blank -%}background-image: url('{{ block.settings.video_image  | img_url: 'master' }}');{%- endif -%}">
 
{%- if block.settings.video_link != blank -%}

Base.css file( one found from prior forums but did not work) 
 
@media screen and (max-width: 767px) {
.videoBackground .videoBox {
padding: 100px 20px 80px !important;
}
.videoBackground .fullscreen-video-wrap {
position: absolute !important;
z-index: 1 !important;
}
.videoBackground .videoBoxInfo {
padding: 10px !important;
}
}
 
 
 
I have also included a picture of what the video banner looks like where you can see the text is there but its very hard to read due to the lack of the overlay.
