Passenger dome light and passenger vanity lights not working

Basically after new bulbs, the map lights worked fine then one day the passenger side stopped working. I tapped the lense then it functioned again for about 3 days then quit working. Removed and reinstalled repeatedly but no success. Drivers side works flawlessly.

passenger side vanity lights didn’t light up when I pressed the switch while the mirror cover was off. Cleaned the visor and visor clip contacts but no dice. New bulbs as well. Drivers side 0 issues.

Any ideas on what’s going on? I really need to get this issues sorted ASAP. Thank You!
