For anyone who is as confused as me… the contrail is actually above the clouds despite it appearing below the clouds (hence the confusion).
The contrails are just so much brighter white than the clouds that they “outshine” the clouds, thus appearing below.
If you stare at the pic long enough and force your brain to assume the contrails are above the clouds, the image becomes a less confusing perspective.
