98 Chevy Lumina Brake Light/Turn Signal Problem

This issue started recently that I can recall, but I am unsure which started first. Here are the details. My tail lights light up when on but the brake lights do not come on except for the middle brake light in the back window. The right turn signal light flashes very fast, the front right turn signal flashes fast but the back turn signal doesnt flash. If I fiddle with the turn signal lever I can get it to flash at a normal rate and both lights will flash appropriately.
The left side has no problems except for the brake light no coming on, but the turn signals work fine. I checked the back light bulb, seems to be working but should I just go ahead and replace it? The fuse is good as well, does it need to be replaced?

Note: As per an vehicle inspection that was done, the mechanic told me I needed to replace the brake light switch, and I did but it did not help. Do I need to adjust the brake light switch at all? Tighten it in the socket, so the contact is closer to the brake lever?

Any suggestions would be great! Thank you.
