3rd Brake Light Wiring Problems

Thanks in advance for any insight.

I just finished wiring a Daniel Stern Hella 3rd brake light on my 81sc.

As per the Pelican thread I used a snap lock (blue) connector over the yellow and black wire coming from the 6? prong plug going to the light assembly on the back right side. This was my positive feed for the Hella unit.

For the ground i put a round terminal over the stud on the fan housing that has all the braided wires coming from the distributor. I assumed this to be a ground.

When I stepped on the brake the Hella did not come on and my Right brake light was now twice as bright as my left

I tried other grounds and got nothing.

Any Ideas?
