I bought a set of shorty Pazzo knock offs on eBay. I love the look and feel of high end levers but just can't handle the price tag so I went the cheap route. When putting the front brake lever on I found that it doesn't accommodate the brake light switch. Has anyone encountered this and figured out how to retrofit the lever/switch so it was all functional?

The ones I got worked fine, idk?
Well.
It's made in China.
Looks like a brake lever.
Tastes like a brake lever.
Must be a brake lever.
LOL
Pretty much everything from China has to be slightly modified to work like the the engineered product that it imitates.
The joy of success is increased by the struggle along the way.

That's how mine is....plunger mounted on the clip on. My stock brake lever has an indentation to accommodate the switch. The aftermarket does not. It fits if I remove the plunger though.

Take some pics of whats going on.... Sounds like you may just need to grind a little on it.....?

If it's close it can be made to work with a little grinding and a little hot glue.
