As title says.

I got the front two working perfect, rear left is fine, but wherever I put the rear right it either does not come on at all, or just stays lit, does not flash, even when not indicating..

Wtf?

there is no easy answer, somewhere the wiring is rubbing on the frame, or has a bad earth

check the wiring in places you've been fixing other stuff recently

Do you have a multimeter? Remove bulb and check voltage.

If you don't have a multimeter get one.

Have you fucked about with the connectors at the rear? You shoudln't have the front flashing properly at the same time as the rear (on the same time) being on permanantly.

What is the rear light doing when the indicator is on?

Nono, the right left front and left rear flash the same time, but when indicating right the front right is fine but the right rear stays on perminent even when I switch the indicators off

If that makes sense
