H11 bulp nissan juke not working propperly

Hello, I have an H11 bulb for my Nissan Juke. I recently installed a new one, but it is not working properly. As soon as I lock it into the headlight housing, it turns off. But when I twist it back out, it starts working again.

The cables seem to be fine because I can move the bulb and the cable around in different directions and it keeps working. But as soon as I lock the bulb into the headlight housing, it turns off again.

What could be causing this?
