My new to me trailer has 5 wires going into a 4 flat plug. Every thing works but when the turn signals are on the opposite side blinks slightly. Is this a gounding issue? or something with the way I have it wired to my truck. Thanks for any help/advise.

Sounds like ground to me. Your 5 wires probably includes one wire for each side of the tail/marker lights, with one being brown and one brown with a yellow stripe.
Check your ground where the white wire attaches to the tongue, then check for ground lugs at the light fixtures themselves.
If you have integrity, nothing else matters. If you don't have integrity,
nothing else matters.
I have 2 wires each side for the tail/marker lights..a brown and yellow, and a brown and green. What is the ground at the lights? This trailer does have drum surge brakes if that makes any difference.

Some lights have a pigtail that goes to the frame near the light, and some ground internally to mounting screws inside the light.
