1997 E320 Tail Lights

I am having problems with my tail light. The brake light to be specific. The board in the back seems to have warped slightly and the contact with the bulb is poor. I have cleaned the contacts and bent the contact prongs to try to get better contact but it works for a short time and the goes out again. Any ideas? I believe a new board is quite expensive.

Depending on how warped, u might be able to sand or file it flat?
