When adding sections to the default product template, the sections and their content will appear on all your product pages.
To provide unique content for certain products, create a new template and assign a product to that template. All products using that template will have the same section content but will be different from the default template. Always create new templates on the live published theme for them to appear as options in your product setup.
Another method is to use Shopify's insert dynamic source option (metafields) to blocks and then customize content for each product in your product setup.

Experiment with creating and customizing new templates in the Theme Editor. As a second step, remember to assign that template to a certain page or collection.
For example, create a new collection template to display a different layout and include different sections. Then in the Shopify Admin under Products -> Collections, choose your collection and assign the newly created template to that collection.
