I’m fairly new to doing my own electrical so be gentle if this is a simple question.
I’m trying to install a fan button timer along with a new rocker switch for my bathroom. In the image below the left side is the light and the right is the fan switch currently. How do I go about installing the two new switches that have the usual black/white/green? I’ve done simple single switches and dimmers before but have yet to run across one where the two are tied together like so.
If any additional info is needed, let me know and I can get it to you.
Thanks!

Wire it like this:
It's very straightforward, except that the timer-switch requires a neutral connection (to its white wire), and the timer-switch has wires coming out of it instead of having screw terminals.
The timer-switch switched-hot is the red wire, and this should be connected to the black wire in the right-side cable, which leads to the fan.
