My For Loop is skipping past the first iteration, I'm losing my mind

Hey guys,

So essentially, I have a radial menu, with separate child objects for icons I want to add in as you pick up objects in the game. All I'm trying to do is enable the respective icon when you pick up the item. It's working, except it's skipping past the first iteration in my for loop below in ActivateIcon().

What's weird is, If I open my radial menu to the correct submenu, then close it, THEN the icon is added in properly.. I've been staring at this for 2 days straight and I'm completely lost.

So the for loop is checking an int Indexvalue I set in a .asset file created via a ScriptableObject. I've triple checked that.

Let me know if you need any more information, but anything you could do to help would be greatly appreciated, maybe I'm just missing something simple?
