I suggest you upload your model, so that others here may take a closer look. Your description is confusing to me. Are you setting your E-vector perpendicular or parallel to your PEC walls? If the latter, then your mode is being set below the cutoff frequency.

Thank you for the response,
So I changed the size of the test model to 300mm by 300mm and adjusted the frequency range to 500MHz to 1000MHz. Set the electric field imposed by the ports in the x direction, perpendicular to the PEC sides. I switch the refractive index for one of the two layers between 1 and 3, keeping the other at one. If I'm not mistaken there should be a reduction in the S11 parameter of about 25% when I switch from 1 to 3 but In fact there is not change instead the frequency analysis explodes around 700MHz. I have uploaded my project, I'm sure I am making an obvious error this is my first time working with COMSOL.

1. Your mesh is far too coarse.
2. In Settings, Port, you need to specify the propagation constant. For free space, use 2.0*pi*freq/c_const

1) I don't know what I should change to make the mesh less course. I set the physics-controlled mesh on electromagnet Wave to 3e-1m because that is the largest element in the model
2)I set the propagation constant to 2.0*pi*freq/c_const but should I set the freq variable in parameters? I decided to do that and set the freq and tried a variety of values from 500-700MHz always setting the frequency domain to [freq-50, freq+50].
After the second change when analyzing the S-parameters I found that the distance between S11 and S21 did decrease when I increased the refractive index but it I would have estimating it would decrease by 25%, it decreased by about 90+%. Also the S-parameters tend to bend together as frequency increases, I would have that they would remain parallel.

OK, I've attached a revised version, which solves ok. Use a user-defined mesh.
"freq" is the internal name for the frequency variable. It is set by Comsol when you say you want to do a frequency sweep, so all you needed to do was refer to it.
Meanwhile, I encourage you to practice your skills using Comsol-supplied examples files.
