Yeah Dan...takin pics under the car sux, at best!
Looks like it's all correctly connected, for sure. My only suggestion at this point is to put the trans in Reverse, disconnect the linkage from the switch, move the lever on the switch until the lights come on. Then bend the linkage to fit. Reverse should pull the linkage to the rear of the car, and going to neutral should push the linkage forward. If the switch seems to work backwards from that, there may be a problem with the switch not being correct, or defective.
