If screws were removed and trim seems stuck still just pull outward hard, it probably has a few plastic clips on the backside of it

Brake switch should have adjustment to it. Remove the connector from switch then loosen the lock nut on the switch and rotate the switch in or out until the switch plunger is about 3/4 depressed with pedal in rest position. Tighten lock nut and reconnect connector to switch and test it then.

Pull the red button in the switch all the way out and then let the brake arm come back and touch it.
