Button Scroll view original default button becoming clone

ok this will require some explaining. so I'm making a scroll view two in fact how its supposed to work is that when I click on one of the buttons it creates a another button the scrollview on the right, so that works out just fine, however when the left scroll view populates the default button that acts as a base for the others to be created is turned into a clone and as such the first file(button) is unclickable(because it has taken the position of the base).

so I need a way to either

swap the text of the first two buttons(the default and the D:flowers-Daisy) for it work out well or

or prevent the original default from becoming a clone. keep in mind that besides the default one which needs to be their to create the others, the rest of button text comes from a file Directory I have on my computer.

like I said complicated I attached some images of the unity project

if you happen to know anything about the text overlap on the right that's cool to but that my secondary concern.

   [SerializeField] private GameObject leftButtonTemplate;
    [SerializeField] private GameObject rightButtonTemplate;
   [SerializeField] List<GameObject> leftButtons = new  List<GameObject>();
   [SerializeField] List<GameObject> rightButtons = new List<GameObject>();

  public void PopulateLeftSelection(string[] filesToShow)
  {

 foreach (string file in filesToShow)//goes through each file 
 {
   GameObject buttonObj = Instantiate(leftButtonTemplate);
   Button button = buttonObj.GetComponent<Button>();
     leftButtonTemplate.SetActive(true);
     leftButtonTemplate.GetComponent<ButtonListButton>().slider = this;
     leftButtonTemplate.GetComponent<ButtonListButton>().setText(file);// puts text on buttons
     button.onClick.AddListener(delegate { buttonObj.GetComponent<ButtonListButton>().SelectFromLeft(); });
     buttonObj.transform.SetParent(leftButtonTemplate.transform.parent, false);
     leftButtons.Add(buttonObj);
 }

}

public void PopulateRightSelection(string clicked) {

 GameObject buttonObj = Instantiate(rightButtonTemplate);
 Button button = buttonObj.GetComponent<Button>();
 rightButtonTemplate.SetActive(true);
 rightButtonTemplate.GetComponent<ButtonListButton>().setText(clicked);
 buttonObj.transform.SetParent(rightButtonTemplate.transform.parent, false);
 rightButtons.Add(buttonObj);
 

}
