Default RR Turn Signal

So I have had to replace the bulb for my RR turn signal for the past two years. About three months ago, replacing the bulb quit working. I had to park the truck for other issues for a few months. I just replaced the socket and put in a new bulb and having the same issue of it not working on turn signal only. The tail lights work but turn signal in rear will still not work. Yes it works fine on the left side and works in right front but the right rear turn signal will not work. I am at a loss of what to do and tired of just replacing parts. Anybody had this issue. I have a 2007 Dodge Ram 1500 with a Hemi...if that makes a difference. Thanks

Have you tried swapping the circuit boards in the tail lights where the bulbs plug into? They should look similiar to the picture I attached below.

Mine doesn't have a circuit board like that. It has a socket for each bulb that plugs in. I have replaced the socket and the bulb but turn signals do not work.

Those are for the 02-06 taillights only. Only took them 5 model years to figure out those circuit boards SUCKED.

Stupid question, but is the correct bulb going in and the contacts are clean and not smushed?
