Debug a carousel - items dont link proper on IOS

i have a theme with a hover effect on product items, looks nice - works great on desktop. BUT when i use the CAROUSEL element, thumbnail or title LINKS will not work on IOS. ( on ipad or iphone you cannot click the link you need to hold down and menu will pop up) if you go to the store you can click fine on ios... so i need someone to debug this - the carousel is not allowing ios to click the link for some reason - z-index i don't know? Pictures are attached, i need this fixed right away! must be able to test on IOS or you cannot see problem!!!
