One other thought. Not sure where you were looking for the original problem but in the trunk the wiring to the right taillight runs across the trunk at the very back. Just below the lock, I believe the taillight wire has a splice which drops down to the license light.

That wire is supposed to be protected in a grommeted hole but if the rubber grommet has deteriorated & the old wire was disturbed, some insulation could have broken off & there could possibly be a short. There may also be another similar arrangement under the car as it enters the light.

The brown 4 wire connectors behind the L tail light could also be an issue. Some have given problems with corrosion or sometimes loose connectors & a wire coming out. Same with the connectors on left side under dash which connects the main loom to the body loom. If a connector was loose, it could have slipped out and shorted against the body.

Once you get the car back to the condition it was in, the rear lights are in parallel with the connection being at the connectors behind the L tail light. For the R side only to not work the problem would have to be in the connectors, the short loom across to the R light or a bad ground in the R light assy to body.
