Those tracks for power that fit in just right are easy to screw up.

Not sure if the design of your rear lights is the same as on my 2003, but this is what I encountered. After repeatedly changing the same brake bulb only to have the brake light stop working after a short time, I took a close look at the assembly that holds the bulbs. In my car these are aluminum strips that the bulb makes contact with and hold the bulb in place. My aluminum piece worked its way lose from the housing and it was springing up so the base of the bulb would cease to make contact. Fixed it with a little epoxy and some tape to hold it down while the epoxy set. End of problem
