Exclamation Backup lights (reverse) problem

Hi folks i have a problem with my backup lights on my '77 F-150 Supercab, the light bulbs are new and i'm pretty sure that the sockets are clean and rust free but the just wont go on when y shift to reverse. I recently change the shift collar after using 2 shift collars from a junkyard I decided it was time to buy a new one from LMC I dont know why they make this part out of ANTIMONIUM when they could've use STEEL, but any way in order to change the shift collar I have to dismantle the whole column you know take the steering wheel off and removing the turn signal switch but i think i reassembled the whole thing in a good way. Anybody had a problem like this? or have a comment that can help solving my problem I would appreciate very much thanks!!

Did you check the wiring and grounds?

What about the neutral safety switch located on the column near the firewall? It may need to be adjusted since you said you did swap columns.
