Blocks not working within category template

I have a set of blocks using template includes that works perfectly on a standard page

<section class="fixed-image slide" style="background-image:url('<perch:content type="image" id="image" label="Background Image" width="1920" bucket="Backgrounds" />');">
    <div class="container">
        <div class="row">
            <div class="col-sm-12">
                <perch:blocks>
                    <perch:block type="content" label="Plain text">
                        <perch:template path="content/blocks/_plaintext.html" />
                    </perch:block>
                    <perch:block type="testimonial" label="Testimonial">
                        <perch:template path="content/blocks/_testimonial.html" />
                    </perch:block>
                    <perch:block type="button" label="Contact button">
                        <perch:template path="content/blocks/_button.html" />
                    </perch:block>
                </perch:blocks>
            </div>
        </div>
    </div>
</section>

When I include the same code on my category template, in the back end, I get the block options but clicking any of them results in the grey bar and no fields for that block.

<perch:before>
<section class="fixed-image slide" style="background-image:url('<perch:content type="image" id="image" label="Background Image" width="1920" bucket="Backgrounds" />');">
    <div class="container">
        <div class="row">
            <div class="col-sm-12">
                <perch:blocks>
                    <perch:block type="content" label="Plain text">
                        <perch:template path="content/blocks/_plaintext.html" />
                    </perch:block>
                    <perch:block type="testimonial" label="Testimonial">
                        <perch:template path="content/blocks/_testimonial.html" />
                    </perch:block>
                    <perch:block type="button" label="Contact button">
                        <perch:template path="content/blocks/_button.html" />
                    </perch:block>
                </perch:blocks>
            </div>
        </div>
    </div>
</section>
<section>
    <div class="container">
        <div class="row">
</perch:before>
            <div class="col-sm-6 col-md-4 grid-image">
                <a href="/hires/<perch:category id="catSlug" type="slug" for="catTitle" />">
                    <img src="/assets/img/OE-staging-thumb.jpg" alt="" />
                    <p><perch:category id="catTitle" type="smarttext" label="Title" required="true" /></p>
                </a>
                <perch:category id="desc" type="textarea" label="Description" editor="markitup" markdown="true" size="s" suppress="true" />
            </div>
<perch:after>
        </div>
    </div>
</section>
</perch:after>

There are no errors in the debug and the template paths all look correct.

Is it because that I have this in the <perch:before> section?
