The draw order is determined by the position in the tree, make sure the new node is below this main menu in the SceneTree

#

Nodes are drawn from top to bottom.
So those further down are drawn last AND over those that came before.

Z index will override tree position. So be sure the z index is not higher on the buttons menu

I also recommend switching your Sprite2D for a TextureRect. So all your UI elements are Control based

#

Where is the popup in this hierarchy?

#

Check the remote tree

When you run the game you can open the Remote Tree

#

That will show the tree in runtime

#

So when you open the popup you will see it there
