If you are positive its the correct booster you may need to adjust the rod. Pull the master cyl and you'll see it.

and as for the brake lights, all you have to do is pull the brake light switch plunger out as far as you can, then when the pedal releases, it will push the plunger back in, adjusting it properly.

it may take a bit of a pull to get the plunger to pull out, but trust me, it will. it's kind of ratcheted.
