Squeak in Rear Bumper Cover After Tails Install?

Installed my Tom's a week ago, and now when I touch my rear bumper I get a squeak when it flexes.

I poked around and it appears to be the driver side tail, but WHERE exactly I have no idea.

Is this a bumper fitment issue, or gasket seal issue? I was thinking maybe I imstalled the tails too right, but am sorta concerned about loosening it when the whole condensation issue may arise.

Any insight would help.

I had a similar issue. Loosened everything and found the bottom of the exterior housing was touched up against the bumper (it was actually digging in a bit). I sort of pushed the light up and a little harder against the body when I tightened everything back up. Haven't had the problem since.

Thanks. So, you when you re-tightened everything, you didn't put it as tight as before, or?

It'll need to last a few days like that considering the amount of rain we're gonna get this week...

I did it just as tight, but used a little pressure upwards and in, just to make sure the bumper and lamp weren't touching.
