Tail lights, license plate lights, shifter lights are out.

So just to get it out of the way, I'm dumb and was in a hurry so I didn't turn my car off when I was changing my license plate lights. I messed with a prong in the socket for the right license plate light and the lights I previously listed went out. I checked and changed most of my fuses, plugged up an entire new harness to the tail lights and no power to them. Brake lights and all other electriconics work fine. I don't know much about wires and this is my daily so I can't leave it at a shop easy (no one wants to try for 2 secs to look at it). Is there anything I can check before I'm left with no option but to leave it somewhere?

I can definitely check again but I've already gone through my fuses.
