Trans linkage/Back up switch problem

I just installed an overdrive 4sp indicator, and Lokar style linkage for my 700R4. I got the shift indicator to line up pretty well, and can shift all the way down into 1st gear. The problem I am having now is that my back up lights do not come on until I am in neutral, NOT reverse. Do I need to adjust the linkage another way, or adjust the neutral safety (back up) switch? Thanks!

Thanks...I will give it a try. I got the shift indicator and the linkage from truckandcarshop.com. The indicator is made by Counterpart and the linkage is made by Kugel Komponents.
