Exclamation HELP! Lights/ electrical problem

ok so i painted the inner part of my left headlight with plastidip today, took the headlight out, took it apart painted put back together and blinker and high beam work fine, no low beam. thought maybe i plugged the red a black plug to the blue box thing backwards (idiot me) so i proceeded to put it in backwards and it made a dirty noise so i killed the lights. put that plug back the correct way and its back to the way it was before, nothing more appeared to be broken from that.

fast forward to advance auto parts, decide i might as well upgrade both the bulbs to something nicer anyway. i get home and on the left painted light i have no more highbeam, dim yellowy light works, but get this, on the right (unmolested) headlight the dim yellowy light (which i think is trying to be the lowbeam? my low beams are usually brighter and way more bluish) is making a very scary electrical fizzing noise and the dim yellow light is very flickery. high beam and blinker work fine on that one.

somebody please give me some help? im very confused, i havent installed the new bulbs from the store yet im really not sure what to do from here :(
