Tricky Electrical Issue (maybe not)

Finally starting a thread to issue that has been baffling me. So long story short I was doing a Frankenstein kind of set up for a headlight swap 06 projectors but using my (pretty much new) lens of my 03 coupe. Unfortunately I do not have a garage so I started the swap late and well was running out of time and had to piece everything back together as this is my daily and needed it the next day. My issue comes to where my passenger headlight has a weird thing where I get the hyper blink but instead of the hyper blink on the turn signal bulb now my clearance strip also comes on as a turn signal (at hyper speed as well) at the same time my actual turn signal bulb goes off.
A little bit more background as to what I did to that side. The only thing that was done to that side, was me taking off the outside screws to separate the lens as well as I took apart part of the headlight harness to take out the ballast and igniter before I eventually stopped and put everything back together.
I've dealt with it for now because regardless the headlights are getting swapped but does anyone have any clue what it could possibly be?

Either something is grounding that shouldn't, or the harness got screwed up. I thought all G's used the same headlight harness though.

Hmm I'll have to re check everything again. And I believe it ended up being different part numbers because of the city lights and different sized bulbs. I needed to buy them so I ordered new ones as they were fairly in expensive at $25 a piece for oem

I figured I might as well update this since it’s never fun having a thread with no end result. But after a bit of tinkering and by my luck it ended up being a harness issue! The issue being the harness (headlight side) doesn’t necessarily latch completely in the first time around so the moment I squeezed more it’s worked fine as well as the weird issues with it went away. (Assuming grounded wire wasn’t making contact) was realizing this when the set of 06 projectors I had around with a new harness fired up no problem.
