If hover interactions are not working properly when using the native pagination system in Webflow, there are a few steps you can take to resolve the issue without having to resort to coding a GSAP script. Here's what you can do:

Check the element hierarchy: Make sure that the element you are trying to apply the hover interaction to is contained within the pagination wrapper. If it is placed outside of the pagination component, the hover interaction may not work as expected.
Adjust the z-index: Sometimes, the hover interaction may not work due to z-index conflicts. Check the z-index value of the element you want to target with the interaction and make sure it is higher than other overlapping elements. You can adjust the z-index in the Styles panel.
Use an interaction trigger: Instead of relying solely on the hover trigger, you can try using a different interaction trigger like "Hover In" or "Hover Out". These triggers can be found in the Interaction panel when setting up your interaction. By using a different trigger, you might be able to bypass any native pagination system issues.
Simplify your interactions: If you have complex interactions applied to the element, try simplifying them to see if that resolves the issue. Sometimes, complex interactions can interfere with each other or with the native pagination system. Start by removing any unnecessary trigger conditions or animations.
Use custom code components: If none of the above solutions work for you, you can consider using custom code components within Webflow. Create a new custom code component and add your hover interaction script using GSAP or any other JavaScript library. This gives you more flexibility and control over the interaction behavior.

Remember to always preview your changes and test them across different devices and browsers to ensure that the hover interactions are working properly.
