D- The Dmaj chord has D, F#, A So we can use D Ionian, B Aeolian (of course you can use E Dorian, F# Phrygian, G Lydian, A Mixolydian, and C# Locrian too, but we haven’t talked about that yet)
Technically you are correct here Jer, but just think of all of these as either D Ionian. For our collab though, I want you to stick to D Lydian. Remember that modes mean nothing without chords associated with them. So for D major although you could say you are playing F# phrygian, and technically you would be correct, since you aren't soloing over and F# minor chord it won't sound like F# Phrygian, it will sound like D Lydian, at least in our case.
Same thing holds true for E major.
Good job.

D Ionian equates to these pentatonic scales. D pentatonic, G pentatonic, A pentatonic, Bmin pentatonic.
E Ionian equates to these pentatonic scales. E pentatonic, A pentatonic, B pentatonic, C#min pentatonic.
I want your brain to see a D Major chord and think---D major pentatonic, D lydian, D mixolydian and D Ionian.
Don't make it too complicated.

D - Any of the Dmaj or Bmin triads. Also Gmaj and Amaj triads will work too.
E – Any of the Emaj or C#min triads. Also Amaj and Bmaj triads will work too.
Same thing...I want you to see a D major chord and think:
D major=D-F#-A
If I play a D major triad over it, it will sound like D major.
If I play and F# minor triad over it it will sound like D maj7 because you hear the D major chord and the F# minor chord so you hear D-F#-A-C#=D maj7
If I play an A major triad over it it will sound like D maj9. Same reasoning.
Think of E major the same way.
Don't over think, try and keep it simple for now and in the context of D lydian for our collab. We can get all crazy down the road.
