The brake light is having issues. I push the bulb down and it lights up. I release it and contact is broken. The tin cut out will not grasp the plastic tits on the assembly. How do I attach the tin to the plastic? Glue, JB weld, zip tie, mechanics wire or something else

I had a similar problem. I tried to fix it and gave up. I got a new brake light circuit board off of Ebay and that fixed it. I think it was around $10.

I had to clean off some corrosion on one of my brake light circuit cards; the light did not glow. The LED light disintegrated upon removal.

I decided to go with the new board since they are so cheap. Plus you can't test them easily at the junkyard.
