Default Passenger AE Doesnt work, LCM Issue?

Hey I have an issue where I only have 1 angel eye working, I bought this car from the last owner and found out theres 2 different types leds, the driver side works but passenger doesnt.
I switched the bulbs and then neither works. My eyebrows work fine and the driver led works when i put it where it was, so could this be a LCM issue?
Im not too familiar with the assembly and dont want to order something till i know what it could be, lux eyes coming soon.

Remove the headlight assembly and take the cover off the back. Look at the wiring and it should be cracking with wires touching each other which causes it to ground out. You either tape it back up or you can purchase new assemblies. It's up to you. No one will work on the assemblies they just replace them. Too make sure that's what it is remove it and look inside.

I kept getting bulb out error, replaced the bulb, but still no go. I opened up the headlight assembly and discovered a mess of bare wires. I covered them with spiral wrap. That rook care of it.
