My throttleboddies now keep coming off

I have recently added the MH airbox n a cple of little things and has been running lovely. However The throttle bodies/airbox now seem to work loose off the rubber flanges that attaches the assembly to the intake ports.

It seems I shouldnt do the jubilee clips up too tight ( as seems to squeeze the rubber off the throttle bodies) but dont have an answer, at the moment i have the clips very loose and just kind od have the throttle bodies pressed by gravity onto the rubber flange/mounts intake. M engine has stopped a couple of time when the throttle bodies work out of the top of the rubber flaange and leave an air gap.

Any direction would be most welcome, thx.
You need to install them properly. They will click into place with a substantial amount of downward force. You'll feel it when their seated properly as they'll stay in place with out the hose clamps being tightend up.
