Random links breaking when copy and pasting grouped menu with prototyped animations
I finally acheived an actual functioning menu with some (not all) of the animations I promised my clients. I'm using this menu primarily to allow my clients to navigate the artboards without having to use a temporary sitemap page or the Grid view within the shared link.
The structure is as follows:

Now this truly took me days to accomplish. I'd say I put in at least 15 hours JUST on the menu. I've now learned through many hours of troubleshooting that Adobe XD is extremely finicky when dealing with hover effects, groups, layers, masks, and components to the point where I hit walls constantly. I finally solved it enough to build a beautiful menu that actually worked when I learned that this menu, for some reason, will only be fully functional in the artboard that I created it in. When I copy and paste it into other artboards, random links will break even though they are built exactly the same (with all layers appropriately titled differently) and the prototype shows them as connected and fully functioning. And when I say randomly, I truly mean randomly. Sometimes it's the Care button that will no longer link, sometimes the hover effect on the search icon stops working, and sometimes the Donate link will break. It doesn't matter if I even touch it. If I copy and paste it from the Master Menu artboard that I created it in into other artboards it's just anybody's game.
At this point I'm exhausted. My clients have been waiting 4 days to review the design for this website and I thought I finally had finessed my way through all of Adobe XD's failings but this last one is stumping me.
On a side note, to the Adobe XD team, I feel that prototyping a menu should be something that is a no-brainer. Over the past 15+ hours I've seen countless other posts describing issues of others who are simply trying to prototype menu functions (links, hovers, hovers within components, links within components) etc. Without these basic things this simply can't be called a prototyping tool. It can just prototype specific elements of a design.
I'd really appreciate any help that anyone could give me. Since this is a WIP I cannot share the link to it but would be happy to share privately with Adobe support. If push comes to shove I could also scrub this of any identifying characteristics and share that link. Just let me know.
