a little dab will do ya
I had the same problem and just put a small amout of Gorilla Glue on the lock nut (I ground the nut round first so the boot covered it looked better too) and it worked perfectly

I installed a C6Z shifter and **** and the stock boot doesn't fit around the new ****. I cut the factory ring out of the boot (at the top) and turned it inside out, strapped a zip tie around it at the **** and folded it back down and clicked it in. Looks good, fits around the wider **** and stays put. Might help...

You don't need zip ties, tape or glue to hold it up tight to the ****.
Find the appropriate sized (ID to the lever) rubber grommet at the local hardware store. You might even already have one in your garage/shop.
The friction is enough to hold it up there. And it's easily removed...

I used a dab of clear silicone conservatively applied to the Hurst 8-ball shift **** locknut, and slid the boot up over the nut and let it dry overnight. It's solid as a rock now, and can be removed as necessary in the future since the silicon remains relatively pliable.
