Left rear tail light issues

Hi Guys
I have aftermarket 2010+ tail lights installed for the last 4 years, I recently had issues with my rear view camera so I had to take apart trunk compartment covers, I fixed the issue with camera but now my left tail light reverse lamp and rear left side marker error keeps appearing, the reverse lamp is not functioning but the rear side marker seems to be all lit up.
I installed the original left tail light and everything works fine and no errors displayed, has anyone with aftermarket tail lights had any similar issues, I don't really want to install the original tail lights as I like the look of the 2010+

Are any pins bent on the aftermarket taillight? Is it possible that you can test the aftermarket taillight on the right side? That would help you in your diagnoses if the taillight is bad.

Now today the rear left tail light indicator has also stopped working, instead of the yellow part flashing the whole tail light flashes, I think its toast, time to order a new one
