Taillight Problem

Hey everyone,

The top taillight on my 2009 Mini Cooper stopped working. I got a new bulb, but this did not help. I switched the light bulb casing from top to bottom and the bottom light was now the one not working.
So I know the problem is not with the this part (picture 1), but with this part (picture 2-5).

Any idea why it would not work? I made sure the metal part of the part in figure 2-5 touches the metal on picture 1, but to no avail.

Also, any idea of it's possible to buy just one of these?

All, I read more and more about melted plastic, and even though I did not really see much melted plastic, I scraped every inch of the metal with a set of box-cutters, and it did the trick!
