I don't have a picture for what I did but it should take less than 1,000 words to explain. There is a single mounting screw that uses the large hole you can see on the picture. I loosened it a little, allowing me to rotate the switch body enough towards the lever to make a fingertip touch on the brakes actuate the switch. Then I tightened it down, and it has stayed put for about 500 miles since I did that. I didn't need to file any plastic as MininSX reported he had to do-- I just rotated the switch body a little. Maybe there is something on the switch blocking adequate rotation on some installations. I can't imagine that a very slight filing of the plastic could damage anything, and might give you the range of motion you need to get the result.

At the NYC Motorcycle show, there was a lecture about maintenance checklists, and the speaker said brake light adjustment is one of the most overlooked safety checks that should be done regularly. As Ferret said, make sure it's not "always on" but also make sure it comes on before the bike actually starts to slow down.
