That sounds like you added the compilation directories of AUCTeX to the
load path, a really bad idea.  And that you manually loaded the AUCTeX
files from the uninstalled files in the compilation directories.  Also a
really bad idea.  Is there a reason you don't follow the installation
instructions?

I don't think that is the case. You could try

M-x list-load-path-shadows RET

in order to see whether you borked your installation with duplicate
files.
