Default '01 Polaris Sportsman reverse light on in low gear

Hello all,
I'm new here, so apologies in advance if this question isn't posted in the correct section.

I have a not-so-gently used 2001 Polaris Sportsman that I bought a couple of years ago. The AWD light does not come on, so following the repair manual, I adjusted the shift linkage.

A couple of issues have followed:
  • still no AWD light, but it does work after I replaced a front seal.
  • when shifted into Low gear while the bike is running, cannot get it back into high. When it is off, it will go back into H.
  • in Neutral, the N & R light comes on.
  • readjusted shift linkage, again exactly according to the manual.
  • in Low gear, now R light is on
  • in Neutral, N & R light are on
There is no slop in the shift box. I clearly screwed up something adjusting the shift linkage.

Any help is very much appreciated.
