Hi. Can you share a screenshots of your main component and its variants or provide a link to your file? If the original image goes back while hovering, often there is a problem in structure or layer naming in the main component.

I think this may help you. Create the variants of the component (default and hover) and change the image on each instance
 

Hi! Thanks for the reply, here’s a link of my prototype and I hope you’ll help me on figuring out this problem. Thanks a ton!

You're using the the image propriety (fill x crop) to make the growing effect. Instead, wrap the image in a frame (cmd + option + G), set it to "clip content" and the image constraints to scale. Make sure to do it in both component states and that the frame has the same name on both.

Lastly, change the size of the image on your hover variant. For change the image on the instances, do as shown in the video I've shared.
