Sounds like you over tightened them and maybe deformed the opening that fits the carb. I have never had that problem with either of our bikes , our pods stay on unless removed by me. You could maybe wrap a piece of flashing around the carb then clamp the pod over it, that may stop it from slipping off.

I learned all I need to know about life by killing smart people and eating their brains.
