Overlay, JSP / JS / CSS / XML overlays aren't officially supported. So, you need to overlay the folder structure(/libs/fmdita/config) and recreate the XML node.

Sharing below another way of creating an overlay :

1- Make a package of "/libs/fmdita/config/w2d_io.xml"

2- Download and extract the package.

3- Open "jcr_root" folder and rename "libs" to "apps"

4- Open "META-INF/vault" folder and open filter.xml

5- Change the "<filter root="/libs/fmdita/config/w2d_io.xml"/>" to "<filter root="/apps/fmdita/config/w2d_io.xml"/>"

6- Save the file.

7- Repackage "jcr_root" and "META-INF" folder.

8- Upload and Install the newly created package from step 7 and check force upload option.

The 1st thing to check is to make sure you have the proper permission to the node. If you have the proper permission to the node(s) the browser debugger tool might provide more details on what might be causing the issue.
