You need TWO six ohm or ONE 12 ohm resistor PER SIDE, wired in parallel with the factory wiring harness as you note. It's not clear from your comment if you did this.

there's really only 1 green/yellow and 1 black/white wire there so no, I did strip the right wire. Does 12 gauge wire matter if I used that? I'm going to take a picture tomorrow when I have time.

One more suggestion; remove the resistors and take a two of your OLD indicator bulbs and holders and wire them both in parallel with the newer wiring harness. In effect you have now duplicated the older tail bulb configuration using the newer enclosure. If all three lights (the one in the enclosure and the two you have wired in) flash at the right frequency, then your wiring is fine and there may be a problem with the resistor. If they don't, then you may have cut into the harness incorrectly.

All good... So you rather have two extra bulbs lighting up the trunk? Up to you man... haha
You know what... I wired up one side with 2 6 ohm and it stopped the fast blink, and then wired up the otherside with 1 12 ohm and the fast blink was still there... I didn't feel like figuring it out so I removed everything and now have fast blink. Looks kind of like this guy's eyes:
