I didn't watch the whole video so not sure if you covered this, but I highly recommend also replacing the foam seal that surrounds the connector. It stops water from getting into the cabin, and onto the connector. I replaced both the inner and outer taillight seals because they were both heavily degraded. On the tailgate, they were so bad it was letting water in.

The part numbers for mine were 2128260191 (outside left), 2128260291 (outside right), 2128260391 (inside left), and 2128260491 (inside right). I found the parts in the link below (30 and 160), but they can be found in EPC as well. I did some searching online and grabbed them at whatever dealer was in the US that had the best prices and shipping. I can't remember if these needed to be special ordered from Germany by the dealer, but if that's the case they'll take a little longer.
