You're only going to use 1 set of switches now, so choose the red/2white..
The red being hot and the two white being neutral.

I did a test, and that works. *Why doesn't the bulb light when there
is 105V across those two when the switch is off?

On the fixture you need to
determine which wire should be the hot. Using a continuity tester, see which
of the fixture wires goes to the center tongue of the socket.

The black one, as expected.

RBM's choice is correct, I reading & typing as you posted.

My guess it that you're using a digital meter & picking up a 'phantom'
voltage ....... the bulb not lighting (an inadvertent bulb test)
proves that.
