Pieter, welcome to the forum. It would seem that one opf the new fuses is no longer working or making proper contact. Best is to check this fuse with a digital multimeter set to the 'ohms' or even 'diode' scale, it should of course read a dead short.

I had the same issue with a gate motor, the blade fuse looked ok but it didn't work. Replacing it did the job.

The brake lights could just be a bad earth or bad connection at the lamps themselves. The rest only happened when you disturbed the fuses, so almost certainly a fuse is now blown or more likely not making proper contact either on the fuse itself or on the fuse box wiring.
When your road comes to an end ...... you need a HILUX!.
