I just noticed today I have two completely different parking light bulbs on either side. Im guessing one of the head lights was replaced at some point but the passenger side doesn't work. The car recognizes that its plugged in though since it doesn't do the fast blinking when one blows but i dont really know what to do here.

Hard to tell from the pics, but the top one looks like you have a dual-element bulb plugged into a single-element socket. I only see 2 wires, so that socket is definitely a single. The bottom one looks like a side marker and those aren't usually part of the directional system, it should most likely be solid-on with the parking lamps.

the amber bulb only has a single but i'm pretty sure both bulbs are plugged into the same spot just on opposite sides.the bulb sockets are completely different which is why im scratching my head over this. top is passenger, bottom driver I may have overlooked some things so i'll double check tomorrow if both sides actually match and take better pictures if needed

The WD says there should be one of each on each side.
