Highlight controller button on start

Hello!

So I've been trying really hard to figure out how to highlight the buttons on the Vive controller at the beginning of a new experience, with a tooltip. I’m using SteamVRs Player prefab which comes with the ControllerButtonHints script. The touchpad button is highlighted at start but I can not figure out how to highlight the other buttons on the controller.

I am not a programmer but I’ve learned to understand and to alter basic coding, but I’m lost at this one.. It bugs me so much because it seems to be an easy task.. I can even alter the render model in ‘Play mode’ and change the colors on the buttons but obviously it's just in play mode.. Why is there not a prefab for this, or is there?

I guess I’m not the first one asking for this, or perhaps the answer is to obvious, either way - Pleas help, or point me in the right direction!
