Motorcycle High beam stuck on - dual 5pin micro relays

Hi all,

Im new here and I am in no way electrically minded or trained but i am trying to learn. I have a Harley and I have equipped an Aftermarket headlight. I have put together a wire harness for it but it isn't working correctly and I can not figure out why. Ive been trouble shooting it for a week now which hasnt been the worst thing in the world as I feel as though I've learned some new things which is why i like to do the work on my bike myself but i am completely stumped now and need some assistance.
Please excuse my poorly drawn diagram below:
This is what I currently have. My high beam is stuck on which im thinking is because of the orange connecting wire between the 86 terminals: even when in low beam, 86 on relay2 will also be receiving power which activates the switch causing the high beam to turn on. But when I remove that connecting wire, I have Low beams when switch is in Low beam but when i switch to high beam all im getting is the back light. I checked the 86 terminal on relay2 and it is receiving power and i can hear the relay click but 87 isnt getting any power. I am assuming that if it was a wiring issue then the high beam wouldn't work at all?
I tried moving the blue low beam wire to 87a on relay 1 which worked but the light stayed on even after i had switched off my bike :oops:.
