Inter-VLAN Routing with multiple sites and L3 devices

Hello!

This may be too basic but I have run into an issue wherein I may be over-complicating things.

TL;DR - User cannot ping/upload/download/access data from their device (D1) in VLAN (a) to another specified device (D2) in a VLAN (b). Our internal DNS lists the sought-after device with. There are two L3 switches (ip routing enabled on both) that connect back to another L3 switch acting as our gateway. Each of the VLANs have /24 subnet to help demarcate traffic.

The Specifics: The user's device is connected to a L2 switch -> L3 Switch (Distro) -> L3 (Core) -> L3 Switch 2 (Distro) -> L2 Switch 2 -> ((Sought-After Device)). The L2 SWs are HP and not tagging traffic. L3 Distros are Cisco Catalyst 3750X and L3 Core is Cisco Catalyst 9400. All L3 switches have matching VLANs and IPs assigned to each VLAN for every device. I can't even seem to get a DHCP address when I connect to the switch directly tied into D2.

Is it possible that there are 'too many cooks' given the IP routing capabilities of the core and distro switches?

If this questions is inappropriate please delete!

Thanks for all you have taught me so far!
