Talking 90 into 87 Swap issues

Hi all, I’ve just recently swapped a 7.3 idi (from a 1990 parts truck) into my 1987 Bronco and I’m having some issues with my wiring harness. Everything runs and drives really well, but I’ve run into an issue with my tail light wiring. My bronco has the old grey plug (pictured), and my idi harness has the colourful round plugs. With help from my Haynes manual I’ve been able to swap most of the wires into the right spot (or so I think), but I’m having issues where my brake and rear hazard lights only work with my headlights completely off, and none of my signals work. Just curious if anyone has experience with a swap like this? Thanks!

I will also mention that my idi originally had an E4OD and I’ve swapped it for a T19 and my bronco used to be a 302 with a C6


I believe both are chassis to engine wiring
