What dose the other side do?
Dose it work right or dose the same?
As a guess I would say the turn signal switch is dirty or bad.

Yeah about the issue. The other side is fine aside from someone having to hold the lever up instead of it clicking into place

Besides your cam lock mechanism being broken on the right it would seem to me that if the above is true than the turn signal switch is doing its job. I would look at the wiring diagram and look for other possible issues, the flasher unit perhaps. It would be nice to have the right cam lock working though so it wouldn't be a complete waste of time and money.

To make sure I'm straight on your issue, the turn signals work correctly on both sides without the brake being applied but when the brake is applied only the left side stops blinking?

I agree with fuzz, it must be the turnsignal switch. There are two inputs for the rear lights on the bright side of the bulbs; 1. the brake switch, 2. the flasher.
If the switch is in the middle, both rear bulbs are attached to the brake switch. If you turn the switch to the left, the switch lifts the bulb off the brake switch, and puts it on the flasher circuit, while leaving the right side brake still attached to the brake switch.
Sounds like the switch is not lifting the bulb off the brake switch when it's moved to the left.

The left side still blinks when the brakes on it just isn't bright enough to be seen when I have the housing on if I check it out of the housing and look at the element it's still blinks a bit when I have the blinker onThe flasher should be new as of 5 months ago but i can try to confirm that and yeah having cam lock functional would be great

Try working through this troubleshooting guide:
https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/1...ing-guide.html
The guide shows the innards of the dual-filament bulbs, and explains which filament should illuminate when. This is very important, so don’t skip this step.
It also has you install jumpers in place of the flasher units. With the flashers out of the equation, troubleshooting is simplified.
