Multiplayer Objects Synced on Wrong Layer

I was trying to sync all my NPCs and in the peer version of the game their shadows were appearing but they weren't. After some testing, I found the NPC family is being synced to the very bottom layer instead of the layer they are on in the host's game effectively making them invisible because a tilemap covers them up. What am I doing wrong here?

I believe layers are not synced ; they shouldn't move if created the same way, but you can force your objects on the right layers locally on each peer, like in the multiplayer pong/shooter examples.

Ah OK I thought they might be because my obstacles that can be grabbed and thrown were going to the right layer. But that clarifies things, thanks!
