Default MAF keeps popping out of lid

I have an MTI Power Induction lid. The top part of the MAF keeps slowly popping out. I don't see how a clamp will help because the lid itself is pretty rigid.

What are the sizes of the MAF (assuming not stock) and the lid?

Is the lid cracked at the neck anywhere? If not, I'm guessing that the diameter of the lid is just too large for the MAF. Either have to upgrade the MAF or downgrade the lid.

Edit: I have an MTI and it fit's like a glove.

I don't think it's cracked. The problem is the height different. They're a bit offset. The bottom of the MAF fits in mostly all right, but I have to really pull the top part into the lid.

Hm very weird, I wonder if you got a lid that just doesn't fit properly.

I don't think that's it. I'll take a picture when I get a chance. There might not be anything I can do since I can't just lower structure where the lids sits.
