Your mechanism on the transmission might be no good or way out of adjustment.

^ This. I had the same issue in my manual transmission where the lights would only come on if I was in "reverse" gear in just the right spot. Mine just needed an adjustment.

I know you drive auto but it should be roughly the same mechanism

But what mechanism are you talking about case on the auto transmission there is only 3 sensors the two speed sensors and the range switch

How can I adjust it

Your range switch is probably bad!

Is the reverse light switch not under the shifter, attached along with the neutral safety switch?

I am not sure about under the shifter but I will check and the neutral safety switch is in the transmission

Well the back up switch is probably in that area also if I were guessing. They are usually together in most cars.
