Default Dome light not working?

pulled and painted my front dome bezel last night, un screwed the circuit board from the trim to paint it, put it back together, put it back in and now its not working.

the switch for the sunroof works, the left map light works, but the right right map light and the dome light do not work... i have LED bulbs in there, so i switched them around to see if that fixed it, and it didn't. i tried using the working bulb in the other sockets and that didn't work either... ideas?

no, the circuit board was removed for paint.... paint got no where near anything electronic... as for a fuse, if i blew the dome fuse would one map light still work? the way the board looks, if you blew that fuse none of the lights would work, or the sunroof switch....

pulled it back out, tried everything i could think of, only one spot works, every bulb works, but only in the one spot, if i touched the board would that have done it? think some cleaner on the board would work? (i cant think of what its called, but that stuff for cleaning circuit boards lol. )

check the polarity of the bulbs. They will work by only putting them in one way i beleive. Turn them around and reinsert them and see if they work. If not, check your Fuses and connections again.

DONE
DONE
DONE.


ive flip all the bulbs, they all work either way, but only in the one socket
there is only one harness plug, it is in secure
if the fuse was blown then then would the rear dome, the one map light, and the sunroof switch still work?

the fuse is easy to check and i havent but will, but i dont think its the fuse... i think i touched something on the board that i shouldnt have...
