You need to open yopur files in an audio processing up like Audition or Premiere Pro at least and master them there, then import them into AE without any extra processing. AE isn't good at doing any of this. if the sound files have different levcels, you also need to normalize them first of course, be that by elaborate manual mixing or using the respective audio effects in AU or PR. Only from there can you determine a common master level. That and of course you need to make sure to not mess things up when encoding your H.264 files or whatever by messing around with the presets too much. I know it's not easy to understand, but you'll develop a feel for this as you do the actual work.

You don't know any of that. All you can do is master your audio to a common broadcast standard, typically -3 dBA.

Hello Mylenium,

Thank you .. you mean change the audio level to -3? I tried to but it's different between audio files. some of them when I make it -3 it's load sound when I add it to social media.
