leftBtn.innerText = "<";
rightBtn = document.createElement('button');
rightBtn.innerText = ">";
fireBtn = document.createElement('button');
fireBtn.innerText = "*";

You could use this code to add a css class to each button:
leftBtn.className = "leftOne";
rightBtn.className = "rightOne";
fireBtn.className = "fireOne";
Then you can use regular css to style them.
