Z-Index not working

[sonnystupid]

here's the navbar's original home not going away, the dark brown bar is what i need help removing

image of my problem, you can see the white line is the drop-down content hiding, and the navbar itself is sticky, however the drop-down isn't showing.
So i'm trying to get a navbar to stick out over all the properties on a website i'm using, but for some reason I'm stuck on how to fix it since it's not working.
here's the code i have so far:

background: #5b3914 url(images/menu/menugradient.png) repeat-x;
        position: fixed;
        top: 0;
        z-index: 9999;
}

.navbar a {
    color:#dfc79d;
   
}

.dropdown .dropbtn {
        color:#dfc79d;
 
}

.dropdown-content a {
     color:#000;
     position: sticky;
     z-index: 9999;
     display: block;
 
}

.navbar a:hover, .dropdown:hover .dropbtn {
  background-color: #b67942;
 
}
.navbar {
    background: #01c7fc url(images/menu/menugradient.png) repeat-x;
}

.header {
  padding: 10px 16px;
  background: #555;
  color: #f1f1f1;
}

.content {
  padding: 16px;
}

.sticky {
  position: fixed;
  top: 0;
  width: 100%
}

.sticky + .content {
  padding-top: 102px;
}

I'm also stuck on how to get the remaining navbar set in place by the code to go away, that image is the first one attached up top, my apologies for the mess, i have no idea how to use this forum 🥲

@ sunny CSS with the HTML missing is worthless. Please enter your HTML using the </> located above and to the right in the post-it box.
AND tell us what selector your first rule pertains to, it is missing

But it looks like the drop-down may be the cause. Change the z-index on it.

OK!! You posted on at least two websites and wasted my time! 😡
Pick one and we'll continue there.

I actually already found my fix from someone else. I found your forums difficult and complicated to use so I found another source.

Can you share your solution here? Would be great to help those who encounter the same issue in the future. 🙂
