I would also rethink the direction for the shadow. we need to examine the setup you got there to see how you can add the drop shadow after the fill and not before. the result is that the fill colors the drop shadow as well. You might try just making the top layer 3D to see what that does. my guess is that you are applying the drop shadow one render step before the color fill control. If you are still stuck we need a much more informative screenshot to figure out what is going on. I would start the troubleshooting by soloing the two layers that are giving you problems, press the U key twice to see all modified properties, then start turning things off or resetting the values until you find what is causing the problem. That is not at all how I would have approached the problem. Right now it looks like you just filled the keyed footage of the actor or actors with black and are trying to use that to create a shadow on the ground. Since I can't see what is going on with the 2D layer, which I assume is a keyed layer of at least one of the actors, I think the reason for the shadow copy is acting weird is that there is something else going on in the layer. Usually, if you put a 2D layer above a 3D layer it will mask or cover the 3D layer. The light is coming from the upper right side of the frame but the shadow is falling from the upper left. The first and biggest problem that I see is the direction of the shadow. Here's my guess at the workflow along with a little criticism of the design. When you post a screenshot please select the problem layer or layers and press "uu" to reveal all modified properties so we don't have to guess. It would help if we knew for sure what was going on in the layers.
