Default FXDB 2012 to 2013 Fender Swap; Turn/Tail Light Issue

I have a 2012 FXDB I have recently done a fender swap on. Went to a 2013 FXDB fender with this license plate relocation kit. The kit required me to rewire longer for each turn signal and the purchase of a harness jumper (Part 70027-12) to connect everything to the main harness.

Now I have done everything and hooked it all up. Everything lights up, BUT...

The turns DO NOT get brighter when I put on the brakes (like the 2013 does) and the bright red light on my speedo is on. And YES, I do need and want my tail lights to work. Safety is a priority of mine.

Any thoughts as to what this might be..? CPU issue..? Additional wiring needed? I am really at a loss and my local dealership is having issues because they have never done this before. Can't seem to find any helpful information on the forums for this either.

Appreciate any useful insight.
