Two wires loose/not connected, connect one each into the bottom two terminals. Power off first.
And the both switch plates need to be earthed.
In with the black and grey.
Turn the power off first.
Just fit a small piece of earth wire from the back box earth terminal to the switch plate earth terminal.
