Neutral Safety Switch

[Carloco24]

I was working on the NSS to get my reverse lights working, which now they do, and when I was tighting everything back up I turned the retainer nut and it made a sound like the gear was shifting, even though it didn't. It did fix my lights but now when I shift into low gear it almost has to be forced into gear, almost like it won't engage. Is there somehting that needs to be adjusted?
Please advise

It's possible you screwed it in too far. It may be jamming the shift mechanism.

Try unscrewing it a turn and then see what happens.

Thanks I will check for that!
