Using IF and conditional formatting

I'm trying to have a cell becoming highlighted if it satisfies two criteria.

I would like the cells below each Staff column to be purple if its both the same as the version# and contains . I've managed to highlight cells containing the * by using "highlight if cells contain" ~ but I can't get it to do both.

I've tried

=AND(L2=$J2,"~*")

=AND($J2,"~*")

=IF(AND(L2=$J2,"~*"))

(Version# is column J, Staff 1 is column J)
