Not sure if this is related but the last time I replaced a rear bulb (I think it was a brake light) I had a devil of a time repositioning it and twisting it back in. Like you, I went to the other tailight and swapped bulbs/holders to make sure that wasn't the issue. I just wasn't lining the bulb holder up correctly in the hole before doing the final twist-lock. I had to look at the working bulb holder and see how that was aligned and then make sure after I twisted in the other holder it was in the same position. If I remember, the paddle which you can grab with like 2 fingers as you're inserting the holder should be straight up vertical after you twist-lock it? Again, I had to look at the working bulb holder to see how it was aligned.
