If you add a button it automatically adds a number of default states (usually only the 'selected' state needs to be added' unless you are creating 'custom' states.
The built-in states already have the triggers associated so you don't need to add triggers in the trigger panel - SL automatically knows what to do for the hover state, visited state etc.
You would only add a trigger e.g. if you wanted to change a button from normal to disabled when an event occured or when the timeline starts (you could also set it's initial state in the Edit States tab as well).
If you need more help - you can upload your story file and someone will surely assist you.
here is a video of how I changed the 'hover' state of your blue button. I also removed the redundant hover trigger from the panel as it is not required.
The built-in states already have triggers associated with them, so you don't need to add triggers in the trigger panel - SL automatically knows what to do for the hover state, visited state, etc. If you create your own triggers for those states, there is a good chance they will conflict with the built-in states, with (as you know) unpredictable results.
Of course, the "I need to configure My Dashboard's" hover state is exactly the same as the normal state, so it may be difficult to notice when you do get it working correctly.

Here is the story file if anyone would like to have a look? I still had no luck. Cheers!

Hope this helps
This is the problem:

Awesome, thank you so much for your help! Looks like the only thing I was missing was formatting the button.
