Explanation

Kaneki's kagune leap bite has no check for verticality, allowing him to bite survivors nowhere near him.

This would be like allowing Legion to hit someone in Frenzy from a floor above them. The game seems to only check if a survivor is within a certain horizontal proximity to the killer rather than ensuring the vertical proximity is actually close enough for a bite to be made.
