Is the taillight assembly what you are referring to as the "light bar"? What do you mean by adjusting the angle of the contacts? Right now I'm pretty stuck.

Do you have a circuit test light????
You need to test and proof out your brake light circuit.
Other wise your just chasing your tail and replacing parts.
What method did you use to test your fuses????
You need to (properly) test the brake light circuit at the connection to the taillight assembly.
If you have power at the connector then the assembly or bulbs are the fault.
If you do not have power at that connector then the fault is somewhere between the connector and the power source.
So you trace (Test and proof out) the circuit back towards the power source tell you find the fault.
Replacing bulbs and switches and adjusting the angle of the contacts in the light assembly is chasing your tail if you don't have a complete circuit.
