Just wanted to give an update. This isn't a perfect solution, but it's definitely better than what it normally is.
So instead of setting the event to a parallel process, I tried something different. The fog will be activated by a player touch event every time they leave/enter the area. I also have a player touch event in between the two areas that turns off the fogs completely. This prevents them from looking like they're stacking on top of each other for a minute after youre about ten tiles into the map. Instead what happens is it'll flash between the two tiles with no fog at all, but then transitions into the proper fog without having that stacked look.
so the event is set up something like this one the map.
The X will represent the player touch events on each tile of the map.
so theres an initial row of player touch tiles coming from where the player is
This is the direction the player is coming from

Sorry if this was a messy way to get my point across, and sorry if this is how everyone already does it and im late to the party, but for those who may have been doing it the same way as me before, this way looks a lot better.
I'm also thinking about trying it with coitional branches that just check if a fog is active, which would cut the number of event tiles I need to take up in half, but I haven't tested that yet. Although im sure it would work just fine.
