Thanks, the switches were marked as to the common terminal, that wans't
the
confusion, I just wasn't sure which wire went were. Ended up switching 2
of
the wires around & it's fine.

The common screw is a darker color than the other two. The common
terminal screw is either black or copper-colored to distinguish it
from the other two silver or brass-colored screws. The green wire is
always attached to the metal switch housing screw (or metal box) for
ground.
