Minecraft layers deleting main texture

[bright lake]

when i create a texture, certain parts like the arms have room for their own layer. yet parts like the body, which i added later on after the main texture already existing, delete the pixels on the main body. i know this is because its ontop of the main body texture in the texture yet when i make a new one just for the body layer it still deletes pixels from the main layer
