Navigation (wp_nav_menu) refuses to nest within parent element

'echo' => true needs to be 'echo' => false in your wp_nav_menu array for it to nest. From the docs you’ll find

‘echo’ (bool) Whether to echo the menu or return it. Default true.

so what’s happening is the wp_nav_menu isn’t being returned but just echoed, so doesn’t nest.
