Trying to make a help menu using button builder

Im trying to create a menu for my help menu that changes it's buttons based on what page it's on and change the embed accordingly. I got the basic idea of it working with the embed and buttons changing however discord then throws an error "Interaction Failed". I also don't know how to approach making the command listen for buttons after the first one is clicked. Any help much appreciated!

Theres also an issue when trying to use /help again where an error is thrown If you guys know of any examples of this concept, that might just be the best way to help! So how would i fix that? interaction.Update?

:method: ButtonInteraction#update() Updates the original message of the component on which the interaction was received on.
