A dab of RTV silicone or hot glue is an old and effective solution to the problem of the cables pulling out.

The more common issues is that it is possible to insert the cable and have it give the feel and appearance of being seated, but for the pins to have not actually made it into the sockets. Check the pins very carefully prior to inserting them, looking for bent or short pins. Insert them gently and perfectly straight.
