Tail/Brake Light Help

OK, so I finally got the bed back on my truck and finished wiring the tail lights. This is a new AAW wiring harness. LED tail lights...Flasher for LED also installed. All of this is for the rear of the truck. I have not finished wiring front parking lights yet.

When I turn on my lights, the drivers side is brighter than passenger same intensity as brake lights. With no lights, I push brake pedal and the brake lights work, but drivers side is not as bright...same intensity as parking lights. Drivers blinker doesn't work with brakes engaged or with lights on, but does at a reduced intensity than passenger side with lights off. I have a new ground strap from bed to frame and from cab to frame. I made sure the strap is hitting fresh metal on frame and body/bed. I also have ground straps from front of engine block to battery negative side and from back of block to frame.

I traced the wires back to the fuse block and made sure nothing was crossed up, but it seems the drivers side is reversed from parking light to brake light intensity.

I even swapped out to new LEDs and had same result.

Here are the 2 grounds I have from Cab to frame (pic 1) and from bed to frame (pic 2).

I thought for sure it would be a grounding issue, but unless I need more grounds or a better location, I am stumped. HELP!
