Angry Major Headlight issuse help please

Ok my daily driver has this horrible headlight issue i cant figure out.
Everytime i put a new 9006 low beam bulb in it blows within a day,
Little message center in car tells me i have a blown high beam.
So i pull the light off and this is what it looks like



This is a shot of the High beam how it was:





This is the 9006 bulb, low beam that keeps blowing




Here is what i bought to replace the missing connector for high beams


Here it is all together


Heres my problem, it still doesn't work, car still reads high beam out, none of the bulbs work in this light even when new, cant figure it out. any help?

have you used a voltage tester to make sure the wires going to the harnesses are getting voltage?

Yeah its showing off and on so I assume very loose, taking the lamp off and switching it to the other sides connector proved that the problem wasn't in the headlight but the cars connector, so ordered a new one, we'll wait and see
