Button Animation Transition Doesn't Work

So i have a TextMeshPro that has a button component with an animation transition. The problem is that my highlighted and pressed animation doesn't seem to work during play mode.

I can still play the animation from the editor and it works fine, but the highlighted animation doesn't seem to work when i hover over the button during play mode.

I don't think the problem was caused by TextMeshPro, because i've tested it with a regular button and it also doesn't work. Also, I've tested the color tint transition and that works perfectly.
