Thanks for the reply!
I went to take pictures and I remembered the connection order incorrectly- it's hub, Sinewave, light, tail light.
I should also note that the headlight always functions properly.
1. Is the headlight steady?
Yes- it's solidly secured to an eyelet on the rack strut
2. Can you unplug the Sinewave and see if that solves the problem?
The tail light seems intermittent regardless of the Sinewave being plugged in.
3. Where do you jiggle the cable? Near the headlight or near the taillight?
I'm jiggling the cable at the light, right where the wire exits the light.
4. Is the junction between the taillight cable and the headlight wiring sealed with heat shrink?
Yes.
5. Is the wiring connecting to the taillight visible and solid?
I actually didn't check this- I'm 99% sure the problem is that the tail light cable is not securely connected in the light housing.
The thicker wire is the power to the light, the thinner wire is the tail light.

Here's the power in/out- the wire on top is the conductor from the Sinewave, the bottom has heat shrink material on there-
