Two wires have disconnected when I moved a double switch for painting. Any ideas where they go please? I guess the live at the top goes into the com but no idea where the live at the bottom should be connected. I’m a complete novice so don’t want to do something that may be dangerous!E7C5DC50-AF94-4684-8D4D-1DCD4E989FDD.jpeg
 
The one at the top put into the COM nearest the wall on the pic. The unconnected brown in the back box into L1 furthest from the wall in the pic (You can see where it has broken off from the piece of wire still in the terminal). I would redo the black also so all that copper isn't showing and check the others.

Thank you so much. I will do all of those things now 👍🏻
