I would use useState to have index of active Element, add text from your buttons to array, then map through the array and add if statement to your Button like this:

 <NavButton active={index === stateIndex ?? true}>{text}</NavButton> 

and then in you styledComponent add prop

${({active}) => active && css`
**Here pass your styling for active element**
`}
