Help programming joystick buttons

Hello we are team number 4591 we are a rookie team. Our programming team consists of 2 people and we have just started programming a few months ago.

We have sucessfully made our robot move forward and backwards using two joysticks.

We need to move two motors at the same time while holding one button to go clockwise and holding another button to go counter clockwise.

We have tried everything we know, but nothing seemed to work. It would be very helpful if someone could give us an example of a code we can use to run the motors.





Here's what we have so far:
Code:
package edu.wpi.first.wpilibj.templates;

import edu.wpi.first.wpilibj.Joystick;
import edu.wpi.first.wpilibj.RobotDrive;
import edu.wpi.first.wpilibj.SimpleRobot;
import edu.wpi.first.wpilibj.Timer;
import edu.wpi.first.wpilibj.buttons.Button;


public class RobotTemplate extends SimpleRobot{

      RobotDrive chassis= new RobotDrive(1, 2);
      Joystick leftStick= new Joystick(1);
      Joystick rightStick= new Joystick(2);
      
public void autonomus() {
      chassis.setSafetyEnabled(false);
      chassis.drive(-0.05, 0.0);
      Timer.delay(30.0);
      chassis.drive(0.0, 0.0);
}

      public void operatorControl() {
      chassis.setSafetyEnabled(true);  {
            chassis.tankDrive(leftStick, rightStick);
            Timer.delay(0.01);

     }
     }
     }
