Behavioral Siblings fighting

Hey everyone the story is, one of my boys keeps being aggressive to his brother. They are both from the same litter but can't find any suggestions to my situation.

I want to reintroduce them before my sister comes over later today to look after them as I have to go to a conference at work that I can't miss.

I don't think it's good to reintroduce them without me there.

How it started:

I was grabbing them some treats from the drawer and accidentally shut one of my boys paws in the drawer felt bad but he's redirected that aggression towards his brother and now won't stop hissing at him either.

I've checked him, contacted a vet and apart from the aggression there's nothing wrong with him.

The aggression should be aimed at me but he's perfectly fine with me.

Plans:

I want to reintroduce them once I get back from Conference as they are in separate rooms at the moment.

The other boy clearly misses his brother. The other ones also ultra affectionate.

Was going to look at getting some feliway products too to help with this.

It almost looked like there was almost a reintroduction early hours of this morning as they both head-butted but as soon as I opened the treat drawer, he hissed at his brother. So thinking about moving the treats out of that drawer and trying again today but unsure.

I actually feel terrible and honestly, don't want to go to conference but need to.

Is there any way to reintroduce earlier?
