"Became" vs "become"

Question

I'm not sure about the verb tense I should use here:

Run this definition so that the previous changes become/became visible.

I think the correct one is Present Simple but it sounds better with Past Simple.

Run this definition so that the previous changes become visible.

You'd use become, the sentence is in the present tense. Became is the PAST tense.
