NRaas Story Progression castes help
I've made castes for certain groups of sims, but I want the settings within them to override the town options. I know I have to change the caste priority but I don't really understand how that works. ...

This is the sort of thing where support for NRaas mods is (usually) better provided at NRaas. It's kind of what we are there for.
The hierarchy of SP Options goes Town > Lot > Household > Caste > Sim.
Settings on the left flow to the right and become inherited. They will show up on groups or sims on the right in (parentheses).
Settings explicitly set on the right will trump those on the left. They will show up without parentheses.
So by definition, Caste Options will always "override" Town Options as long as the sims you are expecting to ultimately adjust this way are really members of the caste in question. Caste Priority doesn't enter the picture unless a sim is a member of more than one caste at the same time (e.g., you have a Female caste, an Elder caste, and a Werewolf caste, so an elder female werewolf would belong to all three) and the castes have conflicting options settings among them. In that case, the highest Priority caste wins. If all of the castes have the same priority, which one wins out for just the conflicting settings will be random.
But none of this changes the fact that Caste Options always win out over Town Options.
I can give you some more detailed examples if this doesn't clarify things enough.
