Default Turn signal issue after column work

So I took my 74 standard column out to replace a broken turn signal switch. Column is back in car.
Ignition working fine.
Brake lights working.
Reverse lights working.
Tail/running lights working.

The turn signal lever operates fine now but here is my symptom:
- right front turn signal blinks when I turn lever up(right) but rear turn signal doesn't blink
- left turn signals not working (front or rear)
I thought maybe a fuse might be bad but if that were true the front right wouldn't work I would think (I haven't yet pulled the directional fuse)
Suggestions where I should start ?
The turn signal switch and ribbon cable are new and securely snapped into harmonica

I'd go to the connector on the turn signal switch first and make sure this is plugged in good and tight. That's where I'd start for sure.
