This was under pretty high torque though, which it sounds like yours aren't. Just a suggestion.
This was an issue we had last year as well, but we were also pushing their load limits. After speaking with several teams at worlds, and JVN, the most common recommendation was to weld the carrier plate pins so they couldn't slide out of the plate.
