The red brake light should stay on until you have pressed both front and rear brakes.
If it doesn't go out then one or other of these may have disconnected. The front brake switch connector is under the tank, to the right hand side beside the frame tube.......Rear is behind the down tube over the alternator and accessible with the tank in place.
These switches are not the best but since you have been in at the connections so recently I would suspect check the connections first, start by making sure rear light bulb is working, then check rear brake pedal activates brake light, then front brake lever. If no joy then maybe some wires crossed?
