Something pasted into the Visited state will cover something in the Hover state. 

However, it sounds like your Hover state has animations around the perimeter of the button, and the Visited state doesn't cover that. 

 

⚠️ UPDATE 2025-08-14: The text below was in this reply when it was first posted. However, I just tested the instructions and couldn't get them to work. So I think it's best to just design any Hover state so it won't interfere with the Visited state. ⚠️ 

If that's the case, here's a great solution that I saw posted by Nedim​:

Add a trigger that changes the state of the button to Visited when the user mouses over the button with the condition that the state of the button = Visited. 

I'm not on a machine right now that allows me to test it, but I believe that trigger should override the built-in functionality that would otherwise automatically show the Hover state on mouse over.
