Lawson, pull your driver side wooden floorboard and eyeball the brake pedal arm. You'll see the switch contacting the at rest position of the arm. The pedal gets pushed, the the contact is released, the brake lights go on. If that doesn't happen or not at precisely the time you'd prefer, the position of the switch mount should have an elongated hole to allow adjustment. If it doesn't have that slotted hole, it's easy enough to remove the switch to modify that mounting hole.
