Your inner-background img opacity is set with comma, it should be with period.

.inner-background img {
    opacity: 0.9 !important;
    z-index: 100 !important;
}

I just tried your code with changing "0,9" to "0.9" and seems to work just fine here.

Try using rgba color values instead of hex codes and opacity.

I don't know if you've managed to sort this yet, but how about something like this?
