 * I’m refitting an existing site to this theme. I set Customizing > Header Image,
   but the image shows up below the header (social nav, main nav), not behind it.
   The header image also only shows around 120px tall, but 400-500px like the demo
   site.
 * What did I do wrong? Are there any instructions for matching the demo site layout?
   Is the demo content required?
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fcustomizing-header-image-3%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_
