We used zip-tie mounting plates (1"x1" plastic self-adhesive pads) and forced the PWMs into tension against our Spike and Victors by zip-tying the PWM cables to the mounting plates. The Jags have the tension "clips" that we used to prevent the PWM's from falling out. With this, we cannot even pull the PWMs out by hand without cutting the zip-ties.

You aren't using a male/female adapter on the PWM cable, are you? We find that those male-male (pretty much a 3-pin header almost) adapters do not fit into Victors or Spikes nicely, you've got to use the Universal Servo connector with the pins built into the plug. Otherwise, you have the issue you mention, and it doesn't stay plugged in very long no matter what you do.
