This is hard to explain, especially in the topic.

I'd really like some help with this because I'm stumped, especially as a first time pin owner.

First of all I noticed that the extra ball light was illuminated when it shouldn't be and then noticed at least 3 lamps were on in addition to the one that should be.
I went through the tests and tried to find a pattern in the lamp matrix, it seemed to be an issue with row 6.
I also noticed the wig wag lights on Bridge Out R were illuminated at all times.

Later I noticed the GI spotlight on Red was flashing dimly while going through some of the lamp tests and was bright when on the 'Bridge Out R' lamp test was on.
I took the bulb out of the spotlight and all other lamps work as intended now.

But Bridge out R is still lit.
I went into the GI test and it appears that Bridge out R is on the 'playfield right' GI.

So it's as if the Red spotlight and Bridge out R are swapped. I thought the wires could just be swapped over (Bridge out has a board and connector though so i don't know how I'd do that)

But! I checked the colours of the wires and the backbox connections and they match!

So they're wired up correctly... Which makes no sense to me (as a newbie)

So I'm stumped.
Please offer some guidance of what to check next...
