The left tail light won’t work
The left middle socket tail light won’t work. The brake light and turn signal in the same socket work perfectly.

You have a short somewhere in your wire to the light bulb. Your Manual will have a diagram for all the wiring. Find the wire going to that bulb and fix it. Don’t forget to check your fuses as well it could be as simple as that.

Yea I’m afraid it’s a short. The other side works fine.

I'm assuming you swapped the bulbs and they work unless they're in that one socket.
I have no idea if this will help, but I went nuts replacing bulbs on a VW Passat until I pulled out the plastic socket for that corner. It worked kind of like a flashlight socket: (https://i.imgur.com/YWARWoR.jpg https://i.imgur.com/9qid1h9.jpg) Turns out one of the metal contacts had somehow flattened, and it was making such light contact that it oxidized a bit, so I had to bend it outwards AND sand it a bit. It worked fine after that.
If that doesn't work, it's probably a wiring issue, which will likely be a pain to trace. So check the contacts that you can reach near the bulb itself.

It’s got me confused. The buld works because the turn signal and brake light work?
