Answer 1

If you have different cells layout requirement in that case you should use different custom cells with different reuse identifier. As I can see in your code you have same layout of cell with different datasource.

So I would say try to subclass the collectionview cell and put a IBOutlet property for button through xib or storyboard in the subclass.

Answer 2

Make sure assigning DataSource & Delegate to CollectionView

1.Give number of sections you wanna show using below method

func numberOfSections(in collectionView: UICollectionView) -> Int {
    return 2
}

2.Set item count of each sections for CollectionView using below method.

func collectionView(_ collectionView: UICollectionView, numberOfItemsInSection section: Int) -> Int {
   return (section == 0) ? list.count : list2.count
}

3.Assigning cell for each item to CollectionView.

public func collectionView(_ collectionView: UICollectionView, cellForItemAt indexPath: IndexPath) -> UICollectionViewCell {

    //If you are using multiple cells based on section make condition 

     if indexPath.section == 0 {
             //make sure the identifier of your cell for first section
             let cell = collectionView.dequeueReusableCell(withReuseIdentifier: "cell1", for: indexPath)
            // do your stuffs
             return cell
     }else{
             //make sure the identifier of your cell for second section
             let cell = collectionView.dequeueReusableCell(withReuseIdentifier: "cell2", for: indexPath)
            // do your stuffs
             return cell
      }

}
