Default manual swap brake light switch

Hey guys, I'm currently in the middle of doing a manual swap on my car and I ran into a little problem, the automatic brake pedal assembly has a square hole (blue arrow) where the brake light switch (green circle) fits into but the manual pedal assembly has a circle instead of a square (red arrow).. I believe that the manual assembly came with a round brake light switch (below red arrow) but the plug is completely different than the square switch from the auto.. The auto's switch has 4 connectors and two on the manual switch.. Do I need to splice some wires, buy a new brake light switch etc? Thanks in advance!

I cannibalized mine and moved the clutch pedal over to the Auto frame.

Or you can get your file out and open up that hole.

Be SUPER careful with those switches, its very easy to break.

I've solved the issue, I found out that the yellow wire operated the brake lights, the green was for the shift lock switch, red wire was positive to the battery, and the blue with yellow stripe wire was for the torque converter lockup. I cut the wires and made new connections for the round manual switch (red + yellow) and it works well
