Default Brake Pedal Switch Won't Stay Inserted Right

So the brake pedal switch keeps pushing back when the pedal lever rests against the switch button. This has been creating some TC unlock issues.
I push the switch in and the TC problem goes a way. But not for long. The pedal keeps pushing the switch back out of its socket.

So I pushed the switch in and used a zip tie around the switch block and through the adjacent whole in the bracket. Holds the switch in place just fine. But...

Will this possibly make the pedal not return sufficiently? What bad does that make?

How do I know the right position of the switch?

Need a new switch, the plastic threads get worn out.
