The hole in the glass cover needs to be aligned with the switch else the pull chain breaks

Leave the cover loose, a little silicone lube on a swab on the slide surfaces, and it will align itself.

The switch should work either direction. I've replaced a couple.
New cheap ones might have a smaller diameter wire. Take it apart and solder in a bigger one if needed. There is a spring in there. Most likely the fan is also worn and there is insufficient voltage supply.
