So, the old switch had only two terminals?
That means one terminal for permanent live and one for the wire(s) that will become live when the switch is closed.
There are no neutrals in that switch, unless the blacks were connected into a separate terminal block to the switch.
What was the reason you wanted to change the 1 gang switch to a 2 gang switch?
No there were 3 terminals in the old switch one was not used, red and black from 1 cable in the com port and red a black from the other cable on the L1 port.
The 2 lights used to be seperated by a wall before i moved in, the wall was removed and the previous owner hooked the 2 lights into 1 switch, I want to be able to use one light or the other or both depending on my needs lol
