Using Gimp 2.8
Layer groups - often used in templates to turn on/off various aspects of the image.
starting with something like this: https://i.imgur.com/E7Wqcyu.jpg the black flare layer hides under layers.
Does not make much sense to have a single layer in a layer group. If you have, then set the layer group mode to screen.
If there are several layers then the group mode (screen) is fine for the black background but affects the other layers : https://i.imgur.com/Iays1VE.jpg
What can you you do with lens flare?
While you can not add a flare to a transparent layer, it is possible to remove a black background with Colors -> Color to Alpha once it has been rendered. https://i.imgur.com/yqyjHUL.jpg
All layers back to Normal modes gives a result: https://i.imgur.com/IY9N3Ot.jpg
