How to achieve smooth transition between hover state to second artboard

Apologies if the title is confusing, I myself do not know how to describe the situation so I've attatched a video to show what is happening.

I've made a component which briefly expands when hovered on using auto animate. I've linked the hover state to a new artboard when tapped, which continues to enlarge the component using auto animate. However, right before it transitions to the new artboard, the component quickly resets to its original state.

Is there any way to create a smooth transition?
