The hood alarm switch can easily be broken by mechanics working in that area. They try to perform work with the switch in-place, and wind up accidentally breaking it off....
In my case, it was not brake booster related, but happened when replacing all those tiny 4mm vacuum lines in and around that area...
When my indie mechanic accidentally did it, he was able to temp fix it by a wire-tie it to the bracket...until a new switch arrived (~ $10 at the time).
Then, when the new one arrived, he removed the "remnant" of the old switch still attached to the bracket, and installed the new one in about 5 minutes, checking the alignment ay the time.
My hood has a small plastic cup that the switch aligns with when the hood closes
