website header/links showing in reader view

I run a website that is custom built and we are seeing a potential issue in which the headers and header links are showing in the reader view of every page above the content for the page. But I'm also not sure if this is necessarily bad or might be affecting SEO.

Does anyone know whether this is detrimental to SEO, and if so, are there any suggestions on what might be causing this to happen in the code?

Send a pic example. No idea why a header/link would affect SEO

I'm not sure either way. I'm worried that the correct target word count is being diluted with all of the extra words from the header. The picture attached shows about 1/3-1/2 of the headers that are appearing above the actual page content.

Thanks,
