How to Unlink Two Audio Tracks in Final Cut Pro?

hello. I recently got Final Cut Pro and i've been trying to find a solution to this issue for two days now.

I usually capture videos with OBS, which has two Audio Tracks, one for the capture, and one for my Voice. When I import the clip, I can see that there're two Dialogues, one for each, the issue is I can't seem to be able to separate them even after deattaching from the video. As seen in the screenshots.

they're connected and I can't separate them. I want to be able to split them so I can move them freely away from each other. Can someone help please? thank you 🙏🏼

Add two copies of the same clip, turn off the volume of one part of each.

NOTE: To add only the audio and not the video of one clip when dragging to the timeline: press Shift-3 (or Edit->Source Media->Audio Only); to go back to using both audio and video for subsequent additions to the timeline, press Shift-1 (or Edit ->Source Media->All)
