UPDATE!! both of the initial problem is solved. Activating the second pins does not trigger the first pin anymore, also when the first switch is activated, the second can operate normally! I also tried to space out the pins so they are not all cramped in one area . Thank you guys again 
Also, if anyone got any clue what went wrong with my initial set up, can you please share. Seems like i have a misconception on the fundamentals. If not, its working now anyways CHEERS !
