Default Spark plug wire problems

I have the ovc wire kit and my back two wires on the passenger side keep poping off the spark plug on to the header. Is there anything I can do to keep them on the plug?

crush the metal fastner a little bit more closed. This will help it stay on better. Dont do it to much though.

you can also put a zip tie on them and snug them up against the block to keep the slack out of them.

I'd reccomend crimping the end a little bit to, makes it clip on more tightly.
