On the dyna the black is ground, blue is running light and purple is indicator / brake light. On the bike somewhere is a convertor module for the indicator and brake function.
Except where I am in the UK red cannot be used for the indicator and so the rear lights contain 3 separate LED lights.
For the new lights just use an old battery to check what is what.

It looks like you are expecting the new signal units to also work as brake lights, on some years this is possible, on other years a separate module is needed.
Does the bike have an aftermarket module for brake, turn, run ?
We must know the year of the machine so we can look at the wiring diagram and understand the circuit.
On the wires in your pic, black is ground, blue is running lights, violet is left turn signal, brown is right turn signal, there is no brake light wire in the pic.
