Answer 1

This is an old question but the issue does come up quite a bit it seems. The issue isn't z-indexing:

You're most likely missing the image files

bx-wrapper .bx-prev {
  left: 10px;
  background: url(images/controls.png) no-repeat 0 -32px;
}

A quick check

.bx-wrapper .bx-controls-direction a {
  background-color: blue;
}

Once you do this you'll see that the controls are there.
