Can't extend/override parent "move" element – Magento

In catalog_product_view.xml in the parent theme there is this, just copied up to one line past the line Im trying to change:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<page xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="urn:magento:framework:View/Layout/etc/page_configuration.xsd">
    <body>
        <referenceContainer name="content">
            <block class="InfortisBaseBlockProductView" name="product-view-wrapper" template="product/view.phtml" before="-">
                <container name="container_product_image_1" label="Product View, Image Column" />
                <container name="container_product_primary_1" label="Product View, Primary Column, Container 1" />
                <container name="container_product_primary_2" label="Product View, Primary Column, Container 2" />
                <container name="container_product_secondary_1" label="Product View, Secondary Column, Container 1" />
                <container name="container_product_secondary_2" label="Product View, Secondary Column, Container 2" />
                <container name="container_product_lower_primary_1" label="Product View, Lower Primary Column, Container 1" />
                <container name="container_product_lower_primary_2" label="Product View, Lower Primary Column, Container 2" />
                <container name="container_product_lower_secondary_1" label="Product View, Lower Secondary Column, Container 1" />
                <container name="container_product_lower_secondary_2" label="Product View, Lower Secondary Column, Container 2" />
                <block class="MagentoCmsBlockBlock" name="block_product_secondary_bottom">
                    <arguments>
                        <argument name="block_id" xsi:type="string">block_product_secondary_bottom</argument>
                    </arguments>
                </block>
            </block>
        </referenceContainer>

        <move element="product.info.main" destination="product-view-wrapper" />
        <move element="product.info.media" destination="product-view-wrapper" />
        <move element="bundle.options.container" destination="product-view-wrapper" />
        <move element="product.info.details" destination="product-view-wrapper" />
        <move element="catalog.product.related" destination="product-view-wrapper" />
        <move element="product.info.upsell" destination="product-view-wrapper" />
        <move element="product.info.overview" destination="product.info.main" before="product.social.links" />
        <move element="container_product_primary_1" destination="product.info.main" before="product.info.price" />

But I need to move it somewhere else in my child theme, like so:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<page xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="urn:magento:framework:View/Layout/etc/page_configuration.xsd">
    <body>
        <move element="product.info.overview" destination="product.info.main" before="product.social.links" />
    </body>
</page>

but it doesn’t want to extend the parent and as soon as I delete the line from the parent layout file it moves it right where I need it to go. What am I doing wrong?

Edit:

It is in the Infortis > Ultimo theme

The parent xml file:
/app/design/frontend/Infortis/base/Magento_Catalog/layout/catalog_product_view.xml

The child xml file
/app/design/frontend/Infortis/childtemp/Magento_Catalog/layout/catalog_product_view.xml

    Ok I finally figured out the problem. In the theme table in the database the theme was set to "1" instead of "0" like all the rest of the themes.. Im not sure how it got set to 1, but I believe that means Virtual instead of Physical.. which Im not even sure what that means either, but that solved the problem. Now my child xml extends the parent xml just fine. Thank you for your help!

    Are you sure you located the correct path for the layout extend in your custom theme? Seems to me that the fallback is the issue.
