It’s CIS because of the 2 x CH3’s and E because of the Cl from the left and the CH3 on the right hand side Check out my new videos on this on my channel tutorials!

I didn't even notice the CH3 and H3C being identical in different orders! crazy

This is both cis and trans. Denote the vertical and horizontal symmetry this hydrocarbon. As you can see, the H3C and the CH3 are the same priority on the horizontal axis, whilst the vertical axis denotes the Cl being across (trans) to CH3.
Therefore, it is both.

i thought cis and trans only applied when there was 2 H groups

it's configuration should be only "E"

Incorrect. A molecule can be named “cis” or “trans” if it has 2 hydrogen atoms on opposite sides or has the same 2 elements/groups of elements on both sides. This does not have 2H and doesn’t have the same things on both sides (side 1: Cl, CH3 ; side 2: H, CH3). So it’s just entgegen (E)
