Cannot figure out how to detect when the mouse hovers over a BillboardGui

I’m making a system to create an aim-lock for my futuristic laser rifle.
To do this, I need to detect if the player’s mouse is hovering over one of the indicators on players and NPC’s.

I have tried a few methods, but none have worked for me. I have been using an invisible ImageButton for the detection and also tried the reticle label itself or increasing the size of of the button. I’ve tried MouseEnter, InputBegan, etc, but none seem to have worked.

Yes, the GUI is in PlayerGui and set to the Adornee of each character’s RootPart.
Yes, this is a localscript.

Here is the code.

local TargetLocker = BillUI.Hit

			TargetLocker.MouseEnter:Connect(function()
				print("Lockon started for: "..char.Name)
			end)

			TargetLocker.MouseLeave:Connect(function()
				print("Lockon cancelled for: "..char.Name)
			end)

			TargetLocker:GetPropertyChangedSignal("GuiState"):Connect(function()
				if TargetLocker.GuiState == Enum.GuiState.Hover then
					print("Lockon started for: "..char.Name)
				elseif TargetLocker.GuiState == Enum.GuiState.Idle then
					print("Lockon cancelled for: "..char.Name)
				end
			end)
			
			TargetLocker.InputBegan:Connect(function(Input)
				if Input.UserInputType == Enum.UserInputType.MouseMovement then
					print("Mouse entered")
				end
			end)

			TargetLocker.InputEnded:Connect(function(Input)
				if Input.UserInputType == Enum.UserInputType.MouseMovement then
					print("Mouse left")
				end
			end)

Here’s a video of it not working.

As you can see, nothing is printed when I hover my mouse over the reticles.

use playerGui:GetGuiObjectsAtPosition(mouse.X, mouse.Y)

Not ideal for my circumstances.
