The meaning of this sentence is pretty forward, so presence of 'both' seems questionable, so we will discuss it in 'errors'
Errors:Attachment:

Correct idiom:
both X and Y
X and Y must be parallel to each other.
When we generally talking about parallel entities, we just care about only first word that followed after the parallelism marker.
if we want to put preposition it should be once outside or twice inside, this is all that you need to remember about
'both X and Y'In our case 'both' is incorrect and unclear.
