It looks like you have the Sealed, Miro Flex, Mini Thin Line LED, # AL191AB. What I think is happening is that there is a bad ground connection. The bracket you are using, # A91BB, has a ground transfer that moves the ground from the terminal in the back to the mounting hole.
Check to make sure that the bracket is secured to a bare metal surface that is free of dirt and corrosion. You may try grounding the terminal using a wire instead of through the mounting hardware to get a better connection.
To make sure it is not the light malfunctioning, you can use a wire to ground it from one of the terminals in the back to a sturdy ground and then use the other terminal to attach to the positive battery terminal on a vehicle. If it lights up that way, it is most likely a ground issue on the trailer side.
