Variables and If then statements

I have a slide wtih 4 buttons and 4 checks marks next to each button.

The 4 checks are set to invisible on slide entry.

I have 4 variables set up booleans.

When each button is pressed it jumps out to a slide. That slide then returns them to the main navigation page.

The button sets the variable to true. Via a trigger.

When i return to the main page i want the check mark to appear next to the button that was pressed. 

Is this possible?

I do a Change state of  "checkmark1" to state "Normal" when "Variable Changes" variable "variable 1"

Do i need to set the conditions or my trigger differently to accomplish this?

I feel like this is possible but im doing ti wrong.
