If the card has seen moisture and has become soft, I've also had very good results reinforcing fiber door cards using an artist's product called 'mod podge' and regular kraft paper, in multiple layers. Then the metal patch.
Since we now know there's a steel reinforcement escutcheon behind the switch, I'd spend time to trying to determine if the escutcheon should be sandwiched between the patch, or on top of it.
This is the epoxy I'd use, or something similar.
