Back Up Light Switch Engagement Conundrum

No, I mean weld a little dot on the back of the reverse lever arm itself, not the switch ball.

Believe me, Brewer's was the first call I made, but they were as baffled by the whole thing as I am.

This is what I`ll do if I ever open my trans up again.
The aftermarket switches are just a tad too short, so I put my leaky OE one back in just to have lights.:protest:
