Issues with my personal web project. Conflict between a carousel and a Dropdown menu.

Hi,

I have been learning HTML, CSS for a while and I have been trying to build a website. I created a Dropdown menu in a second html document and this works fine. I placed that section of html and css code into my web project. Now my Dropdown menu behaviour is all weird. First I had to put in a z-index, as part of the menu was hidden behind the carousel section. Thought this had fixed the issue. BUT now when i hover over the menu. sometimes it works and shows a pointer cursor and sometimes, it's not showing the Dropdown menu icons. I am completely confused, as i know the menu worked in a second html document.

I have tried to post the code below.

'''html <div class="wrapper">

        <header class="header-wrapper">
            <section id="container"><!-- Change to Navbar Container -->
                <nav class="header-nav">
