You've got contacts 87 & 30 correct. Contacts 85 & 86 are the two ends of the coil which activates the relay. One of them needs to be to ground, and the other one connected to receive power from the thermostatic fan switch.
To also wire a manual switch in, put it in parallel with the thermostatic switch.
Putting the two relays "in series" accomplishes nothing, other than complicate things. Just keep the other one as a spare.
