You'll get more answers if you ask a question, so yes you are doing something wrong.

You have 3 options...
1 lube it
2 replace it
3 replace it

It is a relatively inexpensive part after all and I'm sure you want brake lights don't you?

Also...fill out your profile....It's kind of a courtesy gesture.
Good Luck and welcome to the site!

Do they stick only when they're not bolted on, or only when they are bolted on? Something may be binding when they're tightened down. Maybe you're just making them to tight.
