I have not been following this thread but I usually read what Frank and
Andy write (as I learn from them) and, given I am always trying to be
helpful to any OP if I understand his questions, here's a screenshot series
I made to help either the OP or anyone else reading this find the setting.

Samsung Galaxy Android 13:
Settings > Apps > 3dots > Special access > Appear on top > {app = yes/no}
 <https://i.postimg.cc/zBJyTtmM/appear-on-top.jpg>

There are also a few perhaps somewhat related Developer options, such as:
 Allow screen overlays on Settings = yes/no
 "Allow apps that can display over other apps to overlay Settings screens."

Hope this helps others, as that's why I post.
