I have an idea, if you made an event every time the mouse moves, you can use :GetGuiObjectsAtPosition, which returns a table of all gui objects at a certain position(which in this case is the mouse position). And if that table is not empty, that means you are hovering over a ui.

local Player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local Mouse = Player:GetMouse()

Mouse.Move:Connect(function()
	local MousePos = game:GetService("UserInputService"):GetMouseLocation() - game:GetService("GuiService"):GetGuiInset()
	local getGUI = Player:WaitForChild("PlayerGui"):GetGuiObjectsAtPosition(MousePos.X,MousePos.Y)

	if #getGUI ~= 0 then 
print("hovering over a gui!") 
end
end)
