The connections can be attached either way. There is not a right or wrong way to connect at the switch. If there is a wiring issue it's most likely at the source (by the dash light prob) or along the way......although I think that's unlikely, but certainly possible. It seems to be just the switch. You can always test it with a paperclip and connect the two leads. If the neutral light comes on then the switch is bad. My only concern from your post is that you state that it's coming on in other gears but not neutral. Usually you will get no neutral light at all when the switch is bad which is why you do the clip test to make sure the switch is the culprit and not a power problem. Agree with the others get a manual to explain it all.

You might have the wrong switch for the year. When I did a baker shift kit I had to find one that was opposite of mine. Went to dealer and tried a couple before finding one that was normaly closed or open , can't remember which. So pull yours find if it's normal open or closed , then get the opposite.

Unless you have a Baker transmission someone probably replaced the switch with the wrong one part. You can check continuity across the switch terminals with most multi-meter to see what you have, always on or always off. Check the stock switch at the dealer to see if it is the opposite of what you have. The dealer most likely will not be able to tell you the part number of the switch that is opposite of the stock switch but if you call Baker they have the Harley part number.

Today i finished installing a Baker OD6 on my 2000 Dyna. I had same issue: Neutral light on when in gear and off when in neutral...
I had to change my neutral switch from my OEM 5-speed 33902-98A to the newer version 2001-up 33904-00A.
The 33904-00A is a "gear open" version that works the opposite of the 33902-98A.
See this video from Baker:
