I want to control a brushed dc motors using two mosfets to trigger forward and reverse circuity.
is there anything else I need to adjust?
Original Circuit diagram
Example to drive REVERSE,
v1 HIGH
V2 LOW
Mossfet 1 switch open
Mossfet 2 switch closed
FORWARD
v1 LOW
V2 HIGH
Mossfet 1 switch closed
Mossfet 2 switch open
I don't get what you're trying to show in your diagrams.
What are V1, V2 and G, and what makes them "high" or "low"?
Before worrying about MOSFETs, perhaps just draw with normal open/closed switches?
You would normally use four - in a so-called "H-bridge".
The four switches (which could be MOSFETs) allow the motor to go either forwards or backwards:
For forward and reverse you actually need 4 MOSFETs in a bridge configuration.
It's not unusual for people to build a unidirectional motor driver with one MOSFET but for bi-directional control, most people buy a bridge driver chip or a board assembly.
See DVDdoug's reply.
The V1/V2/G area looks like it goes to a DPDT switch, which requires no MOSFETs.
The MOSFETs you're using might be useful for speed control, but not really for directional control.
