Ahhh, screwed something up, HELP.

Ok guys, I wanted to remove my front turn sigs for paint, so I pulled the main fuse, removed the tank to access the turn sig connection, unplugged the connection, it's plug and play so it was quite simple, and painted the turn sigs. Then a cpl of days later replugged the turn sig connector, reattached the tank, replaced the main fuse, and turned everything on and my left turn sig is continuously on, but my right turn sig no longer works, and neither do either of my rear turn sigs/stop/run Lights. When I turn the left blinker switch on than the front left turn blinks, but the other lights remain off even when I hit the right blinker switch. What did I do wrong? I don't see how I screwed anything up as its just a plug and play operation.

Did you plug them in the wrong connectors, left to right, right to left, by chance?

The front turn sigs are attached and connect into one connector, which you then plug into one connector. It's plug and play, should have been very simple. I'm very frustrated.

Check your grounds after paint.

Since everything worked before you dismantled things, my guess is you have either a pinched wire/s or bent pin/s in the connector? Perhaps even a combination of the two.

Well, ive taken everything apart again, looked at the connector, it looks fine. I replaced the bulbs in the rear and guess what, they work again. Brake/ run/ turn, everything's good back there, HOWEVER, the front sigs are still not working. I've replaced the bulbs up there, and the front left is constantly on and WILL blink, the right is off, but if I take the bulb out and turn it around and just hold it in, it lights up. Aagh. During the painting process could paint have gotten inside maybe? None of the wires are crimped or damaged. WHYYYYY? What's going on???
