Unhappy Clock bulb?

I went and replaced the Center AC vent on my 2003 XJ8. No problem. But my clock bulb stopped working, but the clock works fine. I priced replacement bulbs on line and buying a used clock in great condition seemed much less expensive, so I did. Bulb still not working. They said it worked when I bought it, but it’s not working for me.
Is there a fuse JUST for the bulb? I’m pretty sure I didn’t mess up any of the wiring when I replaced the Center vent.
Many thanks in advance!

Check the contact tangs on the flange. They will bend flat and even though it locks in, the tangs aren't making full contact. I just went through this a couple months ago.
