Do I need any coding to replace that quarter panel light assembly? Also, what is the difference between a 2007 brake light vs the newer light assembly and would I need coding with those also?

I'm unclear as to what part has failed. You mention the brake light, which is an LED assembly, and then mention something about a bulb. Are these two different issues (i.e. the brake light has failed and a bulb socket has melted)? The description about installing three bolts leads me to believe you're referring to the brake circuit board.
You stated you can't figure out what has failed as everything is working. Perhaps the malfunction is in the emergency braking light. This is the additional brake lighting which illuminate under an emergency braking condition (see owners manual). Thus pressing the brake pedal to troubleshoot may give the impression everything is OK as the additional brake lighting may not illuminate under normal circumstances.
Price for the part seems kind of high. I think mine cost $167.
