Thank you for the reply.
Hmmm, maybe Triumph has changed the socket design. Mine is 2015 and the pins for the signal lights are 150 degrees offset. I had ordered BAU15s bulbs and I believe they are also known as 1156PY. (And 7507)
As well, the bulbs you referenced look nice, but they still will be just a tiny bit too long to fit under my lens cap. The ones I had ordered were 1.93" in length and were about .5" too long to fit. A dome shaped lens would solve the problem but can't find, so likely something Triumph has changed along the way. I think the clusters as cr0ft had mentioned would be the only option in terms of length. Mildly annoying as the bulbs I originally purchased are very decent bulbs.

You should use a red LED for the brake light. The lense acts as a filter removing all the non-red light, so you get more visable light with a red bulb than a white bulb.

I hate riding behind bikes with aftermarket LED tailight bulbs. It is too hard to see them unless you are perfectly situated.

Thank you guys for the input. In the end it was just one of the tabs that was slightly out of place and not making contact. Looks like you have to be careful putting in a bulb, cause its somewhat easy to push that one tab out of place.
The info on the load equalizer is helpful, thank you. Turns out the brake module I bought has one included, but sadly the LED bulbs I bought do not fit under the lens cap. They are about 3mm too long. Sad. They are really nice bulbs. Does anyone know by chance, if there is an aftermarket clear lens? Maybe a dome shaped one? I did see one online, but it was a screw in type, so I doubt it'll fit my bike.
