You need to track down why this part isn't working:
Bulb or socket problem? Swap parts from the other side as a test, see if the problem moves

i played with the wires and it works sometimes when i move the wires around...is it the ground...is the black one going into the socket the ground wire...should i splice the black ground wire and ground in the trunk and see if that fixes the issue?

Wiggle that wire very carefully so you can narrow down to the exact point where it makes and breaks contact, then take that apart to see why?

Yes black is shown as the ground for the light. Grounds are bolted to the rear panel of the trunk area near the trunklid striker (remove plastic trims to see).
