Landscape Layer Blend and Normal Maps not working

[justjosh24]

When a normal map is connected through the Landscape Layer Blend it creates this glitched texture… any reason why or how to fix this?

this was done on 5.2.1

You need a base texture to blend in from the bottom.
Presumably a fully flat normal map.
