Well I managed to figure it out, I went back and played with it for a bit, and found that it wasn't seated properly.

However the support arms (i guess thats what the brown thing is) are facing up, on both bulbs.

I checked and it seems they are both even, is this an issue? Should I go back and flip them over?
