Clam shell weatherseal, microswitch location

I recently had a Robbins top (with glass) installed on my '98 Boxster while also R/R'ing the convertible top transmissions and pushrods. The installation was not not quite as good as I thought it should be. The fabric is very tight and the front of the top rattles against the windshield frame with the least amount of road chatter.( is this normal?) Additionally the rear clam shell weatherstrip orientation is in question. I think it is upside down (see photo). The clam shell microswitch (photo) is not installed and I do not know where to attach it. There is also a small rectangular piece of plastic (photo) that mounts somewhere near the plug (photo) for the rear defroster. I'm hoping that when my microswitch is properly installed my dash convertible top warning light will reset itself. Any help/pictures would be beneficial.
