So how do I write it so people know who it is the character is that is doing the Narrative? Sorry I am probably being confusing lol.
I don't understand this - do you mean some of it is in first person and some in third?

If it's all written in third person then I don't see what the confusion is over identifying the POVs.

I've done (for the NaNoWriMo) a story where the POV character would do a short narration in first person, then I'd continue that segment in third person from their POV. Then I'd swap to another character. I had three POV characters. For each of these, I only did the first person segments for their introduction bits they did. The rest was in third.

Does that sound something like what you're doing?
