Rendering

Hi, I am currently working on an animation where we take off with an F18 fighter jet from an aircraft carrier. Everything looks fine untill we’re above the clouds. The infinite ocean body seems to render in front of the clouds. I already tried changing the Rendering Mode under Volumetric Clouds to Quality or Cinematic. I also tried to play with the Translucency Sort Priority from the WaterZone but without success. Here is a screenshot from below the clouds:

And this is how it looks from above the clouds:

I’m using UE5.5 with Ultra Dynamic Sky and the built in Water Body Ocean.
