Brake pedal travel is to high/play

I'm not quite understanding the problem. With the engine off, pump the pedal a few times to use up any residual vacuum assist.The pedal should be hard and within a inch or so from the top. Let the system rest a minute then set your foot back on the pedal. It shouldn't drop more than an inch or so. If it does pump it again and see if it comes back to the top. I'm thinking there is still air in the system.
Most likely cause... Calipers on the wrong side throwing bleeders to the wrong position.
Altering the pedal stop and brake lamp switch location isn't common practice.
