I would suspect a bad ground to the right side of the trailer. Some lights ground to the frame and some use a separate wire all the way thought.
Try this, take off both of the back taillight lenses and run a jumper wire from left side ground to right side ground and see what happens. This would be the outside metal art of the bulb socket, it you have the metal base bulbs with the prongs on the sides. If not you could go from the "Green wire" I believe which is the ground between the sockets. If that fixes it you know it is the ground.
Light ground wires are "looped" from light to light starting at the front of trailer usually. Then just look for most convent spot to add a ground wire to circuit.
Also in junction box for Pig Tail, could also be a loose ground wire to right side of trailer.
