  @GARoss  Seems in this 3 switch gang box, there’s two different circuits on different breakers. I was connecting the neutral for the new switch to a different circuit causing the breaker to trip. I found correct neutral wires and connected the switch there. This corrected everything and new switch is work now working properly.
