So in looking at the double switch, it would be one hot on the left, the single red wire from the fan on the top and the single black wire from the fan on the bottom? No ground connected?

I've seen a couple of these switches before. Sometimes they have the line side already internally connected (or with a tab you can cut if you want them to be separate on the line side. I'd have to see a picture of the back side of it to tell you. But yeah you just need the one line side (with maybe a jumper if it is internally separated), and each switch leg connected to the other side of each switch.

If there is a ground stud on the switch (probably), ground it also.

Thanks for the reply! I think I may have got it. However, the fan is working, but the lights are not: https://imgur.com/a/WhKnUip
