The passenger side does not light up as bright as the driver. When the lights are on and when you apply the brake. Can anyone help? I'm not to familiar with the LED tail lights.

Just throwing it out there............. maybe the pass. side tail light is shot? If ALL the LEDs are dimmer than the Driver's side (Function ok), then something definitely not right. I would try to connect the driver's side to the passenger side to see if they light up normally. If they do, then your light is more than likely shot.

Do you know when this started happening? Have you done any mods in the rear of the vehicle, have you been hit recently, was there any body work and/or mechanical work that may have required touching the tail lamp and/or related components?
If not, I would suspect that you're just unlucky and the LED unit is starting to fail. In which case you will need to get a new tail lamp assembly, unless you feel like finding a way to open the tail lamp housing up, determine what component on the circuit board/LED board is bad and manually de-solder/re-solder it and see if that fixes it. But I don't know anyone that has done that successfully, but it is worth a shot if you are going to replace it anyways.

As far as I know the vehicle has no prior collisions. No mods to the rear of the vehicle. It has a clean car fax but that only goes so far.. I just recently bought the vehicle 2 months ago. From my understanding, it's a led panel that has a circuit board so I cannot replace the bulb. So the panel must be replaced if it's bad. I'll swap tail lights like you said to test it over the weekend and if the results differ where can I find the replacement parts?

right here:

Good luck!
EDIT: There are no replacement parts (circuit board/LEDs/etc), JUST the whole assembly.
