Lightbulb Ignition switch getting worn out?

I just had a problem today where if I turn my ignition switch to far to the right nothing will work. The bike will still start but the back brake light stays on and speedometer and mileage display wont come on. I noticed when I jiggle the ignition switch everything will start working. Sometimes I can just move it over to the left a little bit and everything will work to.

Do I need a new switch or is there something I can tighten inside of the switch? Its almost like something is loose inside of it or its just worn out. I just dont wanna be out riding and it completely take a ****.

Pull the housing, it’s 3 bolts, flip ii upside down and look, might just be a loose connection...if everything looks good...then it might be the lock itself
