Pages: Before/After Paragraph Space Not Working when followed by 2 Columns

I have modified Heading 2 to be orange, 13pt, etc, and to have 10pt spacing after the paragraph. The spacing does not get applied, however, when a 2-column section follows it (see images below). The first image, where the H2 says 'Experience', shows the correct amount of spacing after the H2. The second image, 'Volunteering', shows 0 spacing after the H2, even though it is set to 10pt spacing after the paragraph. What can I do to get the 10pt spacing to be applied? I have tried to apply spacing before paragraph to the 2 columns but that doesn't work, and I would rather have the spacing applied to the H2 anyway. I could add a blank line after the H2 but again I would like this to be consistent across the document and this should not be difficult.
