If you did replace the solenoids, did you have oil leakage from any of them? If you did, you should have cleaned all of the plugs with electronic parts cleaner and let them dry before connecting them to the new solenoids.
And actually, it is recommended to replace those connectors of they get oil soaked. There's a Subaru TSB on those. If I can dig it up, I'll post it.
Edit: yeah, here is the thread I started on that:

Hi, Yes i've replaced all 4 oil control valve solenoids. I dont recall any of them have excessive amounts of oil inside the connectors but I could definitely check out the connector to see if its covered and give it a good spray if i notice that its covered in oil.
Will update with what i find, thank you for the advice and TSB
EDIT: Ill send a picture of what the inside of the connector looks like when i get a chance, most likely when i go to swap the position sensors
