Your vechical uses a H1 bulb for both the low and high beam. Don't worry if you don't understand 1,2,3 prong, neither does the guy at O'Reilly. The O'Reilly guy is confused by the socket that the bulb plugs into one side and the wiring connector plugs into the other side. From what you describe it sounds like the socket is flaky or loose wiring at the plug connector. You can replace the socket, it is part #3 in the link provided

your CRV has 2 low and 2 high separate bulbs right ? sounds like your describing a 9003/H4 which would be 2002-2004 just based on you said the bulb lights on high,but the 05-06 H1 4 bulb setup does have 2 prongs 1 is neg. 1 pos. the bulb has 1 prong and plugs into the adapter and the ground is the base of the H1 ,a lot of the time just jiggling the bulb will temporarily make the filament connect until the bulb is disconnected from power/shut off or another possibility is the socket/adapter is charred from the heat and needs to be replaced if it cant be cleaned up and lubed with dielectric grease,https://www.amazon.com/Halogen-Headlight-Socket-replaces-33116-SD4-961/dp/B07K1G49YX
