How do I change a slider value and have it show?

Unity Engine
1

I know there is a lot of posts and such about this, but I have yet to find anything that solves my problem. I am trying to create an RGBA for my app, and I need to update the sliders with new values during certain events (such as key-presses), but I cannot do that, so the original color ends up staying. I am trying to make an app that emulates call of duty’s emblem editor, and I need to be able to grab the original layer’s colors and apply that to the sliders so that the color does not change when it is not needed(which is really annoying because then the colors end up staying the same from layer transition of A to B and so on). Lines 195-208 I am attempting to modify the slider’s values ( I tried Slider.value and Slider.normalizedValue so far).

As an edit/update, I have the RGB/A working fine, but it has this weird thing where I basically have to “white wash” it (move all the sliders to 255 then back down) for the colors to appear properly. I also figured out how to add the listener for ‘onvaluechanged’ for changing the icon colors, but I don’t know how to modify the values of the sliders for when switching to another layer.
