Formatting Issues with ebook on KDP

Hi,

I just published my first children's book on KDP and I'm having 2 major issues.
I uploaded a fixed-format epub (written in Sigil) to KDP.

1. The pages advance in the wrong direction: swipe left-to-right/tap left instead of the standard swipe right-to-left/tap right.
I thought the issue might be the primary-writing-mode meta tag, which I originally set to horizontal-rl (as per Amazon Kindle Publishing Guidelines). I've since changed that tag to horizontal-lr and have the same issue.

2. My Regional Magnification is wonky. For example, on one page I have text taking up 1/4 of a page vertically, and the rest of the page is illustration. So I split the text into two sections to magnify separately. When I magnify the top half the text from the bottom section shows through the background of the magnification text block. However, when I magnify the bottom section, the text from the top does not show through.
Both sections are using the same div.target-mag element to define the magnification text block. And the code is the same format for the app-amzn-magnify.
This problem occurs on all pages that have this format.

Any thoughts on what I might be doing wrong?
I can provide more details/examples of the code if that would help.

Thank you.
