Default Back up light problem

Have 88 with a 4+3 Doug Nash trans, just installed a rebuilt overdrive unit in it and can't seem to figure out why my back up lights won't come on in reverse. but they do come on in the other gears.
The ball sensor switch seems to be reversed as to when it comes on and when it should go off.
I'm fairly certain I have the correct switch or do I ?

A single post would likely have been sufficient and I don't know that I've actually helped but I posted to your other thread.

FSM - You have one correct?
