Default 2009 Fatbob Break light and turn signal question

Let me start with this. The bike I own is a POS. The previous owner was an idiot and made some really stupid mods to this bike. One of which was he took the rear fender off and replaced it with a totally different fender off a different model. Now it looked sort of cool but he screwed up all the wires for the break lights and turn signals. So none of the lights worked properly. This bugs me so I went to Harley ordered a painted to match fender and everything to put the back end back to stock. New Fender new Strut covers New break light New break light mount new wiring new turn signals. OK you got the idea? Im sure you get it now. The problem is the wire they sent me plugs in under the seat and runs back to the tail light but the end of the wire does not match the break light plug. I am guessing that there is some sort of box that breaks the wires down to. My old sportster had a junction box behind the break light and there is no break junction behind this break light. Can anyone tell me if there is a junction box behind the break light that splits the break running light and and turn signals?

Thank you for your help.

The main wire should plug into the back of the brake light, then the 2 signal connectors should plug into the back of the light as well.

It could be you either have the incorrect part number for the wire, or the incorrect part number for the light.
