Distant (horizons) water & fog doesn't render properly through glass

I have tested down to Noble Shaders from the list of "compatible" provided on the Distant Horizon Mod's github page and none of them can properly render water behind glass in 1.21.6 and up. The problem is present in both Multiplayer and Singleplayer.
All shaders seem to try and render the DH water in front of the glass. Some shaders don't render DH water at all. Some don't render any water behind glass in or out of vanilla render distance. And there were a few that couldn't render fog behind glass either.

The only mods you need to recreate these problems are Sodium(0.6.13), Iris(1.9.x), and any version of DH which is compatible with 1.21.6, 1.21.7, or 1.21.8. Then use Version 0.16.14 of the Fabric Loader to load said mods and you theoretically should be able to recreate the problem with glass, water, and fog using any of the shaders listed below and if DH's "transparency" setting(under quality) is not disabled.

Log file(yes there are extra mods present here but adding/removing them changed nothing for me): https://mclo.gs/REtCoPx
Attached to this message are screenshots using:
1. Vanilla, no shaders(presumably what it should look like)
2. Bliss
3. Bloop
4. BSL
5. BVS
6. Complemetary
7. Daybreak
8. DrDesten's Minecraft Shaders
9. Makeup Ultra Fast
10. Mellow
I would include noble but i can only upload 10 images

Hopefully this bug will finally be squashed after posting about it to the discord servers for DH, Complementary shaders, and now here. I'm still not entirely sure whether the problem is with Iris, DH, or the Shaders but I am sure Sodium is not the problem as version 6.7-6.13 have not shown this bug unless Iris 1.9.x was present.
