First, make sure it's not the fixture. Switch it with the one that does work correctly. If it stays the same it's in the wiring, if not then it's in the fixture. Once you have that resolved, take a test light and check each wire to ground of your trailer to make sure there's no short. If there's no short then it's in your plug.

Are these LEDS? If so they may be miswired inside and has the ground reversed with one of teh tail lights(seen it before). Or you don't have a good clean ground going to the lights and they are backfeeding.

make sure you have a good ground from your truck to your trailer, grounding thru the trailer ball doesn't get it. take a jumper wire and ground the trailer to the chassis of the truck, see if that helps, if it does, start looking at the white wire

But he said that the one side works great, so that doesn't sound like a bad ground at the hitch. It "might" be a bad ground at the trailer light itself, where the pigtail wire from the light gets put over the bolt, but I tend to doubt that also. I think Ferm might be on to something with the miswire internally, which is why I said to switch lights and see if that solves the problem. If it does then you know it's the light and not the wiring. If it doesn't then you know it's in the wiring somewhere.
