On Scene changes timer and objs not reloading

I’m fairly new, but have created a basic game and used a storyboard with scenes. the game is near done but i have one bug I’m not sure how to fix. i have a pause overlay feature which contains buttons to continue the current game, go back to the level select menu, and a restart button. the restart button leads to a restart.lua file and restarts the game, but when i go back to the level selection and click on the same level the timer does not reset and the objs are no longer clickable. Is there a way to fix this? i need a way to refresh the page, i would use a similar file like i did with the restart button, but the level selection is in the play file which sets the basic level selection screen. Any advice?
