The orange dot is a light that illuminates when the rear fog is on. If you didn't see the bulb, there isn't one installed.

Either the knob, switch, or both are worn to the point that the friction fit isn't strong enough to hold. The knob is only $3 brand new. I would swap that first and see if it works.
