How to get click events for butons behind other images

I have a map that is made up of a scroll area and a number of map items that are all buttons. I have events hooked into these buttons that get triggered when they are clicked. Everything works fine except when the buttons move under some overlay images I have on the map ( a transparent compass ring for the player’s ship). When I disable the image component for these overlays I get the clicks I’m looking for, so I am pretty sure the overlays are “eating” the clicks even though they are not buttons.

Is there anyway to get the event system to ignore these overlay images?

Thanks

CanvasGroup has an option to disable blocking of raycasts.
