New 2 gang light switch

[terribleateverything]

I see this is a common topic, but every single one seems different! First time rewiring a light switch (yes I've taken all appropriate precautions).

Old switch (left one on picture of backs) has neutrals in L1 and lives in COM as you'd expect. New one is plastic but has a warning on it about earthing all metal front plates, which is confusing me as I thought I'd bought a plastic light switch. As you can see from third picture, earth is just attached to back box.

Can I just put neutrals in L1 and lives in COM on new switch or do I need to do anything with earth?

The new switch is this one, if it helps: https://www.screwfix.com/p/mk-logic-plus-10ax-2-gang-2-way-light-switch-white/16201?kpid=16201&cm_mmc=Google-_-Datafeed-_-Electrical and Lighting?kpid=KINASEKPID&cm_mmc=Google-_-TOKEN1-_-TOKEN2&ds_rl=1249401&gclid=Cj0KCQjw8NilBhDOARIsAHzpbLDF9tbtTHxiLkxqFIgKxyziuQcBXDKs2U49-R8YMO8u166fGBXePuMaAsJCEALw_wcB&gclsrc=aw.ds#product_additional_detail

You must copy the wiring exactly but bear in mind -

your present switch is two triangles with one upside down and

the new switch is two triangles the same way up.

Thanks! Always good to learn just how little I know

You must copy the wiring exactly but bear in mind -

your present switch is two triangles with one upside down and

the new switch is two triangles the same way up.

So I just need to make sure the pairs are in the same triangle?
