There is supposed to be a mark in one of those boxes to indicate push or pull. So with that mark missing, you're going to have to get a little more sophisticated with it. Hook the switch up to a multimeter and read if it's open/closed when you push it. Or hook it up and connect the laptop to the PC and read in the software if the switch is made when it's pushed or not. I'm more familiar with the Bazzaz switch and software, but I'd bet there's something to indicate when the switch is active.
The clearance issue is going to be tricky. Depending on where the rearset is mounted to the baseplate will determine the pedal angle and how much clearance you have. You may need to drop the pegs some to get more clearance. Some guys use spacers between the baseplate and footpeg brackets to give more clearance also. I don't like that myself, but it can be done.
If that can't be done, then what part of the sidestand is it hitting? Can the detent arm be moved a notch or 2 in either direction to move the switch fore/aft slightly? While it's ideal that the detent arm and rod should form a 90 degree angle, it's not a requirement. The farther away from 90 degrees it goes, the pedal travel goes down and shifting force goes up. But that may be give you some additional clearance.
