I am trying to replace a 3-way switch that has 2 switches on it. Total is 3 sets of 2 switches each.

Switch I am removing has a red and black wire that go to 2 black screws on the right side. Off has both switches to the left.

On the left side there is a black wire connected to the bottom of 2 gold color
screws.

Lowes gave me a switch with 2 gold wires on the right. They is a green screw in the middle. 2 brass screws on the left that are connected. I put that other black wire on the lower screw.

Lights work fine now except the other double switch that is in the middle doesn't work now!

What am I doing wrong?

I put the red and black wire
