Water inside my LCIs

Recently installed LCI taillights on my 435, but found water in both of the inside taillights (the ones on the trunk lid) after the first rain I got in my area, is there something that I missed on install? Is there any type of gasket or foam needed to prevent leaking, I just don’t understand how they are both leaking unless I installed them wrong, but I’m pretty sure I did it correctly? Can anyone link a write up or details on installing just the inner lights so I can see where I went wrong?

Thanks!

They clip in on one edge and bolt up the other, did they bolt up tight?

I felt like they did, but also the little retaining clip that goes around the bolt was kinda weird, as in it feel like I was forcing it as I was tightening it down. maybe ill just take them out and put them back in again? is there any close up pictures of that process to so I can double check my work?
