The most common cause for brake lights to remain ON when the pedal is not depressed as that the brake light switch is not properly adjusted.
IF the brake light switch is definitely good [working properly] then the most likely cause for the brake lights to remain turned on is that the position of the switch [the distance of the plunger tip from the brake pedal arm] is not adjusted properly.
Most mechanical type switches are adjusted by screwing the switch [which has a threaded mounting to a hole in the mounting bracket] either toward or away from the brake pedal arm [which depresses the switch plunger to turn off the brake lights].
It is immeasurably helpful to have an assistant stand behind the vehicle to observe and report the changes [on-off, etc.] as you make adjustments of the switch position. You should continue to make changes in the adjustment until the brake lights stay OFF when the brake pedal is not depressed, and the brake lights come on when the pedal is depressed.

It's probably an adjustment. I believe the brake light switch is under the dash, connected to the brake pedal. Adjust it so that the light goes off when the pedal is all the way up and the light comes on as soon as you touch the pedal.
