How can I flatten parts of this map without losing the desired lighting layers?

I am having an issue in Inkarnate since working on the "labyrinth" section of this map (the blue area to the bottom-left) where I cannot export the map to an image in 4K resolution. It became quickly apparent to me that this is probably because I have WAY too many objects in the scene that have not been flattened yet which causes Inkarnate to frequently crash and not download the image. To solve this issue, I was considering flattening parts of the map that the players in my campaign have already explored, but when I select swathes of objects to flatten them, the lighting does not reflect how I layered it originally or disappears entirely.

Is there a way that anyone knows about that can solve the issue of too many objects on the map without losing lighting layering detail? (I apologize for the relatively low resolution. I couldn't download it in 4K after all haha).
