I had this come up in my last game & would appreciate feedback from wiser heads then mine.

Obviously a standard Deep Strike is 9" from any enemies, but this is modified by the abilities below -

The Primaris Infiltrator ability is:

Omni-scrambler: Enemy units that are set up on the battlefield as reinforcements cannot be set up within 12" of this unit.

The Trygon's ability is:

Subterranean Tunnels: Each time this model is set up on the battlefield using the deep strike ability it can be set up anywhere on the battlefield that is more than 3" horizontally away from enemy units.

Myself and my opponent ended up deciding that the 12" denial took priority, but neither of us were sure if that was the correct way to play it, as there's an argument either way.

I’d agree. The 3” modifies the usual 9” stipulation, but Omni-Scramblers nopes you back to 12”.

Rules Commentary wrote:Reinforcement Priority

While setting up Reinforcement units, you will occasionally find that two rules cannot both apply – for example, when a unit is arriving using the Deep Strike ability (which allows it to be set up anywhere on the battlefield that is more than 9" away from all enemy units) but an enemy unit has a rule that prevents enemy Reinforcement units from being set up within 12". In such cases, rules limiting the placement of Reinforcement units take priority over rules that state where Reinforcement units can be placed.
