Help with tilesets in VX Ace

Hello, I'm sorry, I am new to this and my last forum I cannot find. I previously had problems with transparency in tilesets(I am making my own from scratch in firealpaca and am not finished, I have only made the wall and a window). I have tried events, they are too complicated to use and clutter up the important events, plus the doubling of putting a desk, and a lamp does not work. I have tried exporting the A tileset files from the resource manager and just using the dimensions there, testing the size, but making a window for a wall still doesn't work unless I make the background tileset of the window the same color of the wall. I have the trial and will be buying it pretty soon, I do not know if there are restrictions on the trial, but nothing's seemed to work. I will apply photos to show what I'm seeing. I don't mind making new field types, it's actually what I planned to do to keep each map in it's own category, but I have yet to find a solution to my problem. Any help is immensely appreciated. Thank you for your time.

[RMVX ACE] PLEASE HELP WITH CUSTOM TILESET TRANSPARENCY IN GIMP

I've been trying my best, and have spent two days getting no where in the actual mapping of my game, I've spent about a month at the most mapping out with the defualt sets and sprites and have decided to really start on production. I own SAI, GIMP, and firealpaca and use GIMP(because I cannot afford photoshop) to make my tilesets. I've taken pictures from google and used the sizes to determine my own tilesets. I've heard of the A set being the only one to be capable of layering, but it still does not work. I made sure it was transparent in the file, even tried in firealpaca where I can easily set the transparency. Nothing has worked so far, and I'm adding in such detail I can't use just events to add layers. I have also tried searching the web for anything like this, but nothing is straightforward nor does it help at all even in the slightest. I'm in no real rush but want to make this game in my own image, I've been getting frustrated and have had to put down my laptop before I get so angry I just drop the project. Because it means a lot to me, the characters I've had for 7 years and finally have acquired the material only to be pushed back. Any help would be appreciated, but if I'm recommended scripts I would need step by step instructions as I have no experience with it.
I'll paste what I'm looking at in a dropbox link


As you can see the lamp is posted but the wallpaper is gone. This wouldn't be as much of a problem if my desk tileset wasn't on the same block. Considering the amount of effort I'm putting into this, the problem will occur very frequently.
Thank you for your time.
