it's probably just the connection if you've already tried flipping it upside down
I have drl parking lights and it has that problem mine doesn't connect when it's fully plugged in so i had to pull it out a little bit so it's not fully plugged in, and then i used electrical tape to keep it tight in place

so it's probably just the metal strips on the led too short

apparently it's a common problem with led bulbs

And if its not the fuse... Which it could be... Try using bulb lube to get a better connection as mentioned earlier. I had this issue with a turn signal and thats all i needed.
