Accordion Inside of Carousel positioning Twitter Bootstrap-3 - twitter-bootstrap-3

Question

I have an accordion which I am placing inside of a carousel, it works fine but I cannot seem to get the position of the header to stay and the footer to be relative(it pushes upwards, rather than opening downward) if anyone has any clue please let me know(text is dummy text and will be replaced so ignore that please) I have tried changing the header position to absolute but it does nothing, and am not seeing anything regarding elemental inheritance that should be causing this, thank you!

No! The program is completely free to Apprentices. This is because A100 is an initiative of Independent Software, with support from Connecticut Innovations and our Partner Companies.

The A100 training program requires a commitment of about 10-15 hours per week, including time spent in training sessions. The Program runs 2.5 months and repeats every quarter. Apprentices have been successful in the Program while also maintaining a rigorous academic schedule. A strong work ethic and willingness to learn new things is expected of all Apprentices.

In exchange for the training and opportunities we afford you to connect with local companies (as well as the free food!), we require that you sign an agreement to seek a paid apprenticeship at one of our Partner Companies in the month after graduating from the Program, and that you work there for at least three months. For more info, please read the full Terms and conditions of the Program.

This is part of a much larger website, but this is the only section affected, and the accordion looks like it works fine when not placed within the carousel, perhaps that is just an issue of relative movement that the carousel brings to the users attention(I am very new to bootstrap), if so please let me know if this is impossible to fix
thanks!
