i squirted some silicone adhesive goo into the little circular holes that those metal wires rest in and clamped them for a day.
it's pretty solid now.

Another vote for the zip-tie mod! I tried all kinds of expoy before I heard about it, and wish I would have heard about it sooner

I'm using a rubber band to hold it in place until I do the zip tie fix.
