Default Rear Brake Light Issue

My rear passenger brake light went out (it previously worked). All other lights on the car work including the running light in the same bulb and the brake light on the driver's side. I started with buying a new bulb and that did not work. I figured it couldn't be a ground issue because the running light works using the same ground wire, or am I being ignorant? I then volt tested the brake light wire before the bulb harness and it has voltage when pressing the brake. With that, I thought it may be an issue in the harness so I spliced a new harness on and that didn't work either.
Any ideas on what I should try next?

Thanks!

Thank you, sir.

I got it figured out. It was a connection issue with the socket.
