Aftermarket rearsets -> brakes lights always stay on

I just replaced my rearsets after my buddy dropped my bike on the right side, which bent in the rear brake pedal. It was about 175$ to replace the brake pedal alone with the SW one and only 140$ to replace both rearsets, so that's why I opted to do. After long and tedious work, I fitted both sides in and checked to see if they were working, which they were, but I noticed the brake lights are on even when the brakes are disengaged. I do remember there was a small switch, which was probably it, that I had fitted as best I could with this aftermarket piece and made sure it lined up with the metal piece on the master cylinder that it contacts, but the light still stayed on. I then took it all apart to check the switch and tried manually compressing it with the bike's ignition on, with no success; the brake light still stayed on regardless of the switch being compressed. Everything works fine mechanically with no drag on the brakes, so it seems to only be electrical, but I still need to find a fix for this cuz now no one will know when I'm braking lol. pls lmk if anyone else has run into this and if they have a fix or know what's going on!!
