Hi,
I'm affraid I can't see the picture you refer below. But usually the bands
above the wells refer to some kind of protein contamination. This could
interfer with the reverse transciptase process to obtain your cDNA.
What you could do, is to extract your RNA band from the gel before
constructing your cDNA. This way your RNA would be free from the
contamination.
Best whishes,

everything.
