Viewport will not go behind notes in paperspace

A paperspace viewport shows an image with lines and plines over the top in model space. Those items in model space have the correct layer order. The problem is the viewport is insisting on being in front/on top of everything else in paperspace when I try to plot. I've tried sending it to back, sending it under the notes, pulling the notes to the top, and pulling the notes above the viewport. I've also tried deleting the viewport and creating a new one and it does the same thing. The image and lines in model space just cover up anything in paperspace. Anyone have any insight to this perplexing issue?
