If you want a specific layer to not affect the height channel, in the layer stack switch the the height channel (using the drop down menu) and change the opacity of the layer.

Also you can choose the height information to "replace" the previous height by changing the blending mode to "normal"
By default the height blending mode is set to "linear dodge" which is additive.

also for some reson i cant see the complete height map when i switch to height map mode but its clearly visible in the image if i export all the channels

The height channel being stored in high dynamic range, it contains negative and positive values. So you have to check the "+/- Colors" option in the Viewer settings.
