Why are my virtual hosts pointing to the first virtual host? - apache

Question

I've been stuck with this problem for the past day now and whatever I do to try and fix it fails.
I am trying to migrate my sites from Windows IIS to Ubuntu LAMP. I have set them up in the var/www/ directory and made the config files for them.
I have set up 2 virtual hosts: 1 for samtownsendmusic.co.uk and 1 for www.swim-4u.co.uk
(I thought it might be easier to just use the real domains instead of example ones.)
These are the config files:
<VirtualHost samtownsendmusic.co.uk:80>
# The ServerName directive sets the request scheme, hostname and port that
# the server uses to identify itself. This is used when creating
# redirection URLs. In the context of virtual hosts, the ServerName
# specifies what hostname must appear in the request's Host: header to
# match this virtual host. For the default virtual host (this file) this
# value is not decisive as it is used as a last resort host regardless.
# However, you must set it for any further virtual host explicitly.
ServerName samtownsendmusic.co.uk
ServerAlias samtownsendmusic.co.uk
ServerAdmin admin#samtownsendmusic.co.uk
DocumentRoot /var/www/samtownsendmusic.co.uk
RewriteEngine on
# Available loglevels: trace8, ..., trace1, debug, info, notice, warn,
# error, crit, alert, emerg.
# It is also possible to configure the loglevel for particular
# modules, e.g.
#LogLevel info ssl:warn
ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/error.log
CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/access.log combined
# For most configuration files from conf-available/, which are
# enabled or disabled at a global level, it is possible to
# include a line for only one particular virtual host. For example the
# following line enables the CGI configuration for this host only
# after it has been globally disabled with "a2disconf".
#Include conf-available/serve-cgi-bin.conf
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{SERVER_NAME} =samtownsendmusic.co.uk
RewriteRule ^ https://%{SERVER_NAME}%{REQUEST_URI} [END,NE,R=permanent]
</VirtualHost>
swim-4u.co.uk.conf
<VirtualHost www.swim-4u.co.uk:80>

ServerName www.swim-4u.co.uk

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{SERVER_NAME} =www.swim-4u.co.uk
RewriteRule ^ https://%{SERVER_NAME}%{REQUEST_URI} [END,NE,R=permanent]
</VirtualHost>
I then go to samtownsendmusic.co.uk and it loads up fine.
When I try to go to www.swim-4u.co.uk it just loads up samtownsendmusic.co.uk
I'm fairly new to apache and linux so any help would be appreciated. Thank you

I think I've fixed it.
I'm not sure why it worked, but I removed my sites off cloudflare. I then reinstalled my SSL certificates, redid the Virtual hosts and deactivated all of my WordPress plugins.
Somehow, that made it work
