That's good to know.
I was wondering why other neutrals were causing the test light to slightly trip

I realize you're probably already done and have it fixed... But before you go messing with loose connections, kill the power. Shutting off the switch will suffice just as long as it's deenergized.

There's the safety issue but the main reason is that the electronics in those LED drivers don't handle the screwy stuff that comes from arcing when you're messing with a loose connection. If you grab the joint and pop the wire nut off and it crackles 3 or 4 times while you're aligning wires and twisting the nut back on you can fry the driver... Not always, but there is a chance.

Might save you some money.

Thanks Mike, that's good to know they are somewhat sensitive. Yup I turn off the circuit at the breaker make my connections turn on breaker, if good turn off breaker until everything is buttoned up.
