Default Physics Q (x post)

There are two magnets stuck together through magnetic force but there is a pane of glass seperating them, when I spin the magnet closest to me clockwise, both of the magnets spin and move to the right and down, when I spin them anti-clockwise, they spin and move to the left and down.

The magnets are side by side, and the force applied to make the magnets spin is irrelevant since I have spun them in different ways and from different angles and the result is always the same. They also spin in perfect sync.



Could someone please summarise the forces involved that make the magnet either shift left or right in both scenarios, I'm pretty sure I already know the answer, but one of my friends disagrees.
