Button press different than Run action in HA Automation configurer

I have 2 lights on one smart switch. The smart switch was simply set to toggle these lights. However sometimes I would get into the situation where one of the two lights would be on, then pressing the switch would turn one light off and the other on. Not the desired result. So I made a new automation with conditions to fix that.
The wierd thing is; When i click Run action in the HA Automation configurer it works as expected. (Either turning both lights on, or turn on the one light that was still off, or when both are on, turn both lights off.)
BUT wheb I use the physical switch one of the lights goes on for a split second and the turns off instantly. eventhough in HA it still shows as on.
I already tried to add a 2 sec. delay after the turn on or off command but no luck.
If anyone has a solution that would be greatly appreciated!

See the YAML below;
