Question d4 light not working

Please help out here.
I just changed my gauges to Silver reverse indiglo gauges and everything worked out well except D4 light on the gear indicator on the gauge.
All the other lights come on like P, R, N, D3, 2, 1 but D4. What's wrong?
Did I do something wrong when I put the gauges together?
Any response will be very helpful.
I already searched like 5 times but no luck

I would say the bulb got turned in the cluster or it encountered a large enough bump to break the element. Id pull it back out and check/replace teh bulb

Does anybody know how to replace/check the bulb inside the gauge cluster?
When I shift the gear to D4, the green light is not on. All the other lights are on like P, R, N, D3, 2, 1.

Its on the back side. You can see all teh bulbs back there. Just remove the gauges again and turn it over and check out the bulbs. They arent hidden.

Here is the picture of the back side of cluster. How can I locate the bulbs? I tried to take off that white piece too but couldn't because that white wires are attached to the cluster.

Always helps to go back and double check and inspect.
