Sprinter Headlight socket

The driver's side headlight on my 2015 Sprinter has gone out twice in a month. The first time, I pulled the bulb, matched it with a new one, slipped the new one in, and voila, let there be light.

Last night, same thing. So I got a new bulb, changed it, and the earth is without form and void, as far as I can tell at night. I put in yet another bulb, and still no joy. The bulbs don't fit that tight in that little socket thingy you slip them into before installing the headlight assembly. I suspect that's the problem. I've jiggled the wires near the headlight and nothing changes. MB is out of those sockets.

Has anyone encountered this before?
