There are two wall switches, one at either end of the kitchen. Either can turn the fan off and on. The if the switches on the fan are on, the wall switch will turn on or off the fan and/or light. The wall switches are set up so that if the fans are running and/or the lights are on, flipping the other wall switch will turn the fan/light off. Hope this makes sense. See photo.
Your wording is confusing, does "the fan" really mean "both fans". In the original setup, did both fans get power at the same time, controlled by either wall switch?
You probably have wiring like this diagram, and may have disconnected some of the connections needed to run to the other fan. The directions that came with the fan might not have been anticipating this wiring setup.
Feed is probably at one of the lights rather than at the switch, although the other light box is only showing a white, a black and a green ground wire so if there are none tucked up that's a slave to the one he has wired and it should work.
I'd go back and double check that none of the pairs of wires are not mixed up.
I'd bet a dollar the slave and feed wires are mixed up.
