Short-Term memory loss Help!

So apparently I’ve been driving without tail lamps running for quite some time. I noticed the other day they weren’t hooked up!

so I’ve got 5 wires that I need help with on my 1987 F250

-Brown wire
-black w/ white or a pink tracer
-black ( this might not go with the tails)
-green w/yellow tracer
-orange w/blue tracer

So I know the brown is power
black with pink/white is backup lamps
the other colored ones are turn signals.

but I don’t remember how to hook them up to the flatbed lights. The flat bed tail lights are the generic 4 wire square lights like these below.

hell I wired them up before but can’t figure them out again?!?! The only wire diagrams I find is for 2 wire and 3 wire tail lights

brown is running lights.
yellow is left turn signal/brake light.
green is right turn signal/brake light.
black MAY be ground.
but ground wire is usually white.
