The HDRI won't light the scene until it's captured by the skylight. You can use the HDRI on the background skybox mesh and use a different HDRI on the skylight directly, use two different meshes with different materials, or a single material with a Reflection Capture Pass Switch to visually see one HDRI but capture another. Few different ways to about it.

I think almost all of tutorial will tech you how to add HDRI type background and if you want the HDRI to light your scene or not! normally The HDRI do not light your scene unless you choice Skylight source type to :SLS Specified Cubemap!A big sphere (Epic developer content have one with inversed normals, which would be perfect for this job) with an unlit material, which surrounds your whole scene.
And to get your sun/directional light through that sphere, so that it won´t be blocked by it, please take a look at this video, from min 24:20, where he installs a new node to the (HDRI backdrop) materials emissive input to add the sunlight/directional to it.
