Any idea on how to stack 2two PCBs that can work independently

This is my first time ever doing PCB stuff :D.
I

I have 2two L shape-shaped PCBs that will stack on top of each other. The connectors would stack on each other so that it can be used with both top and bottom by having a wire to board connector plug into the connector on the top, or the top layer could be taken off and then the wire to board connector would just connect to the bottom layer connector. I will attacheither:

  • Be used with both top and bottom by having a wire to board connector plug into the connector on the top

  • Or the top layer could be taken off and then the wire to board connector would just connect to the bottom layer connector.

I've attached my schematic and layout so you can get a better idea.
IDK how I'd like to connect the 2two boards together so that they use the same connector and then. Then the wire connector can come in and attach on the top side if both are being used, or just the bottom side if the top is taken off the pins. Thanks for any help!
