Brake light issues

Yesterday when I started my bike up I noticed that the brake light was constantly on, nothing happened when I pulled/stepped on either lever. I found a thread on here that talked about the brake light sensor, and mine was barely screwed in. I threaded it all the way down, and my brake light resumed normal operation with the hand lever. But now it won't do anything in response to the foot pedal. If I thread it almost all the way out it responds to the foot pedal, which is why I imagine it was threaded out that far (I just had new tires put on).

Is the sensor supposed to be threaded in all the way? Right now the only way the pedal affects the light is if it's barely threaded on, which makes it easy to loosen just a bit and go to always-on again.

That's how you adjust it, in or out depending on how you like it, some adjust it to come on with just barely touching it, or more pedal
