Html – Hide original title box on hover

I have made a custom title box and the old one still displays along with the new one when I hover over my icons.
I have provided an
Image of what is happening. If you look at the image you can see a black box with "Homepage" and white text above the icon. I want the white text only.

header {
  background-color: #195190;
  color: #fff;
  padding: 20px;
  display: flex;
  justify-content: center;
  align-items: center;
  flex-direction: column;
}

.nav-buttons {
  display: flex;
  gap: 30px;
  justify-content: flex-end;
  animation: slideInL 1s ease-in-out;
}

.nav-button {
  background-color: transparent;
  color: #fff;
  border: none;
  font-size: 16px;
  cursor: pointer;
}

.nav-button:hover {
  color: #ccc;
}

li {
  list-style-type: none;
  position: relative;
  display: inline-block;
  margin-top: 20px;
}

li[title]:hover::after {
  content: attr(title);
  position: absolute;
  width: 120px;
  bottom: 100%;
  left: 50%;
  margin-left: -60px;
  background-color: none;
  color: #fff;
  text-align: center;
  padding: 5px 0;
}

    <ul class="nav-buttons">

        <a id="navhomepage" href="./index.html" class="nav-button">
          <span class="material-symbols-outlined">
            home
          </span>
        </a>
      </li>
      <li title="Photopage">
        <a id="navphotopage" href="./Photosite/index.html" class="nav-button">
          <span class="material-symbols-outlined">
            photo_camera
          </span>
        </a>
      </li>
      <li title="Startside">
        <a id="navstartside" href="./Startside/index.html" class="nav-button">
          <span class="material-symbols-outlined">
            web
          </span>
        </a>
      </li>
      <li title="Contact">
        <a id="navcontact" href="#Contact" class="nav-button">
          <span class="material-symbols-outlined">
            contact_page
          </span>

I tried disabling the title using js but that ended up disabling both of them.

    You can "patch" your page with javascript, setting a blank title to the a link inside the li.

    let elements = document.querySelectorAll(".nav-buttons li[title] > a");

for (element of elements) {
    console.log("discarding title of", element.id);
    element.title = "";
}
    header {
    background-color: #195190;
    color: #fff;
    padding: 20px;
    display: flex;
    justify-content: center;
    align-items: center;
    flex-direction: column;
}

.nav-buttons {
    display: flex;
    gap: 30px;
    justify-content: flex-end;
    animation: slideInL 1s ease-in-out;
}

.nav-button {
    background-color: transparent;
    color: #fff;
    border: none;
    font-size: 16px;
    cursor: pointer;
}

.nav-button:hover {
    color: #ccc;
}

li {
    list-style-type: none;
    position: relative;
    display: inline-block;
    margin-top: 20px;
}

li[title]:hover::after {
