New switch C - old switch L1... damn Sparticus beat me to it.
You will need to use your original picture or drawing to ensure the correct conductors go in the correct terminals.
If you did not make a drawing or take a picture then you will need to gain access to a a multi meter and know how to test for continuity.

It is interesting that you pictured the switches at different orientations as they are the same apart from the terminal markings.

We need more info:
Your switch box shows three RED/YELLOW pairs and another red.
Are all three switches two way??
Your old switch shows the commons linked out suggesting that the live feed in is at this end of the circuit.
Maybe the red on its own goes to the commons and the red/yellow pairs go to each pair of L1/L2's on the switch?
Worth a try...

ATEOD there is no real substitute for getting a multimeter and learning how lighting circuits are wired and how switches work.

Without knowing what's happening at the light fitting(s) and/or the other switches, one can only guess.
