How to set first menu active in mega menu? - php

Question

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']; ?>">
<?php echo $row['catName']; ?><span class="caret"></span>
<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; ?>"><?php echo $subq['catName']; ?></li>
<?php
$i++;
}
?>
</ul>
</div>
<div class="sub-menu-right">
<?php
$i = 0;
foreach ($subquery as $subcats) {
$actives = '';
if($i == 0){
$actives = ' active';
}
?>
<div class="sub-menu-inner filter-<?php echo $subcats['cat_seo_url']; ?>-<?php echo $subcats['catId']; ?><?php echo $actives; ?>">
<div class="row row-menu-right">
<div class="col-sm-3 menu-post-item">
<div class="post-item-image">
