The X axis home switch should be fitted on the back of the X axis motor pulley casting. Just look near the die cast box where the stepper connect to.

If the switch is stuck in it should move to the right slowly.

It may be worth using the secret home button & checking out if it's running the correct way. You can alter the direction in the machine parameters if you need to.
