Lightbulb Right turn signal bulb works but does not blink when turning

Hey guys, im facing this problem and hoping someone might help,
The right signal bulb works when i turn the general light switch on but when i try to switch the turn signal it does not blink and on the dash it blinks fast like it does when the bulb is fried
I am so confused i hope someone might be able to help

1. Check the bulbs, make sure they're all good. Swap them with known good ones to be sure.

2. Replace the turn signal/hazard relay.

The signal wire to the bulb is loose somehow. Those bulbs are dual filament and if you look at the pigtail, that are three wires: parking, signal, and ground. Check the wires

Check all of your connections. Then check them again.
Look in the sockets for corrosive build up or loose connector pins
