Default Brake lights missing (brake lamp relay completely gone?) 97 tahoe 5.7

Hello i have an issue that my 3 brake lights do not work. I have tail lights, and hazards working but nothing occurs when i hit the brake pedal. I went to get a brake lamp relay for the fuse box because i looked and it was missing? But there is absolutely no connectors there to click the relay into ? I also replaced fuse 1 inside the vehicle.
i just bought this vehicle for next to nothing for a winter beater
if anyone knows if theres anything else i should look at or do i have to buy a whole fuse box?

Pictures included

Do your hazards work? Notice the 30a stop/haz is missing bottom right of your pic

yes they do ! That's why it is throwing me for a loop. They are after market lights if that makes a difference, the hazards, running lights and reverse lights all work just not the brake lights (all 3)

Did you check to make sure there is or is not power getting to the stoplight switch?
