S80 2001 Brake Light Switch wont turn off

I have a 2001 S80 2.9 sedan. 150,000 miles.Pennsylvania, USA I had a leaking brake booster, bought a used one, installed it and it is now working fine. After I was finished, my back brake lights did not turn off. The brake light switch above the brake pedal works properly. My problem is the brake does can not come forward far enough to push in the switch in, turning off the lights. My question is if there is an adjustment for either the brake pedal, brake booster, or brake light switch that would push the switch in. There is only a centimeter or so of space needed to change. Any thoughts or suggestions? Thanks.

Welcome to Matthew's Volvo Site.

There is no adjustment for the brake light switch. However, this may help if the switch has been moved:

Thanks, actually figured it out in daylight after sleeping on the problem... but the pdf file basically made sense. The white part of the brake light was adjustable and was pushed all the way in during the change of the brake booster. Thanks again.
