How to set first menu active in mega menu?

I am trying to create a hoverable mega menu, all works fine except the active one.

I checked in source codes and active class is added, but it doesn't show up the content until mouseenter on it.

see image please :

And this is when I go on it with mouse, it show up with no problem.

I gues I need to set main (FINANCE is main menu in pic) menu active, but dont know how to pass it to submenu.

Here is my full code :

  $stmt_menu = $pdo->prepare("SELECT * FROM categories WHERE parentId = ? LIMIT 5");
  $stmt_menu->execute([0]);
  if ($stmt_menu->rowCount() > 0) {
    $query = $stmt_menu->fetchAll();

    foreach ($query as $row) { 
      if ($row['cat_type'] == 'mega') {

?>

<li class="dropdown megamenu-fw mega-li-<?php echo $row['catId']; ?>">
  <a href="categories/<?php echo $row['catId']; ?>/<?php echo $row['cat_seo_url']; ?>" class="dropdown-toggle disabled" data-toggle="dropdown" role="button" aria-expanded="false"><?php echo $row['catName']; ?><span class="caret"></span></a>
  <ul class="dropdown-menu megamenu-content dropdown-top" role="menu" aria-expanded="true" data-mega-ul="<?php echo $row['catId']; ?>">
    <li>                
    <?php 
      $stmt_menu = $pdo->prepare("SELECT * FROM categories WHERE parentId = ? LIMIT 5");
      $stmt_menu->execute([$row['catId']]);
      if ($stmt_menu->rowCount() > 0) {
        $subquery = $stmt_menu->fetchAll();

    ?>
    
      <div class="sub-menu-left">
        <ul class="nav-sub-categories"> 

          <?php 
            $i = 0;
            foreach ($subquery as $subq) { 
              $actives = '';
              if($i == 0){
              $actives = ' active';
            }

          ?>
          <li data-category-filter="<?php echo $subq['cat_seo_url']; ?>-<?php echo $subq['catId']; ?>" class="li-sub-category<?php echo $actives; ?>"><a href="<?php echo $subq['catId']; ?>/<?php echo $subq['cat_seo_url']; ?>"><?php echo $subq['catName']; ?></a></li>

          <?php 
          $i++;
          } 
          ?>
