My purpose for overlaying the last contract (ESZ25, overlay symbol/study) with the most recent contract (ESH26, main price graph) is so that I can compare thier volume profiles (VbP) in one chart. The problem is that the VbP study based on ESZ25 gives the same result as the VbP study based on ESH26 which should not be correct because of thier price difference, see attached screenshot: Left side is VbP ESZ25 (gray) and right side is VbP ESH26 (blue), higher candlestick graph is ESH26, lower ESZ25. Please let me know if my aim is possible. Thank you!

The Volume by Price study is always going to use the data for the symbol for that chart. You can not apply it to another study. In other words, the "Based On" setting for the Volume by Price does not have any impact on that study.

Given this, there is not a way to do what you are wanting within a single chart. You would need two different charts to do this.
