When I upgraded my booster/master I had everything apart and don't remember that. But I have the memory of a sleep-deprived squirrel so maybe I just forgot.
My main complaint is I can hear the relay so I know it takes more than light pedal pressure for it to go off. It was like this before I did the booster/master upgrade so I don't think I messed anything up. I've also replaced the switch with a new one. The switch came with a new plastic bushing so I used that too. No change.

Thank you for the pics DFlinstone and 7ate9. Ive got the switch bolted to the pedal arm and master cylinder with the bolt that was there...I just removed the metal sleeve. Without the sleeve in there, the brake rod can engage the switch. This also gives the foot some feedback where the pedal catches the brake rod and activates the switch. I can feel where the lights should come on now.

XJ 4.0 Renix auto with the same problem after fitting the 2000 Grand Cherokee WJ brake master cylinder and booster modification.
so you solved the problem removing the steel cylinder spacer and the plastic bushings ?
thank you
