Rear tail light assembly not working

I just had some body work done on the rear bumper of my 2013 Maxima. now none of the lights work on the passenger side rear light assembly. No brakes, turn signal, nothing. The driver side rear and everything in front work. Any idea what could be the cause?

I would be asking this of the bodyshop, not here.

I plan to, when they are open. Just thought I would try to troubleshoot in the mean time

What did the body work entail? Was the tail light assy removed to accomplish the work?

They removed the rear bumper, fixed damage on the bumper and reinstalled it. I think they removed the tail light assembly while removing the bumper

Correct me if I'm wrong, but aren't these assemblies plug and play units? Maybe the repair shop forgot to plug it in.

I pulled the tail light, and everything looked like it was plugged in. I didn't see anything obvious

Pull the plug and test for voltages?

Thanks for the input. I traced the wiring behind the trunk liner and found a connecting plug I hadn't seen before. Plug was not snapped in all the way. All is working correcting now.
