Swopped them both to L12 and L22 same result even put the old switch on same thing happing I’m thinking it might be the loop between the two com
Can you turn off the fan when the light is on?
no only by switching the light switch witch is controlling the light and fan now together

I nearly asked about this and was probably my next suggestion. Is the original setup the fan comes on with the light and you want them separate?
 
No the original was the fan and light was on a separate switch a two gang switch so I’ve swopped the switch new for old then I’ve even put the old one back on and the same think but the light and fan come on together

The light and fan were both on separate switches but now only come on with just one switch
