Find where the brake like switch plunger is contacting the lever. That area is too close to the switch, or there is too much material there so it's pushing on the plunger and lighting the light.

You will need to remove some material in that area or modify the switch in some way to reduce the pressure on the plunger.

Without looking at it closely that's just a guess, but what i would expect to be the problem when changing to an aftermarket lever.
