use the snippet and share your code so that we can understand the scenario and give the required solution. — Bathri Nathan
what background image? Do you mean the one inside the header ( set via css )? — Professor Abronsius

Class .card having position: absolute which cause the issue.

Added .main-content div with background image cover.
