Floodlight setup at new house with 2 lights on same circuit

Hi everybody!User of a Ring doorbell adding a floodlight w/cam to the house. I have physically installed it and am no electrician, but a good husband who knows when he's about to step in stupid (years of training required to achieve this level).So I have two lights on the same circuit - the floodlight which replaced an old school motion sensor floodlight and the boat-style light. In other words, if I turn the lights on they both go on. Pic attached.But if I turn the switch off I lose the floodlight completely as it has no more power. So correct me if I'm wrong but I guess I need to leave the switch permanently to on for El Floodlighto to operate normally. I can do that, I would replace the navy-style dumb dumb light (which is unsightly) with a light with a motion sensor + dusk-dawn operation that way I don't have a light permanently on in the 'yarrrrrd (pirate hangout - [here is an example of said light](https://www.wayfair.ca/lighting/pdp/charlton-home-vidal-black-outdoor-wall-lantern-with-motion-sensor-c000595839.html)).Do I have this right or do I need to remove foot from mouth (again)?Thanks!
