There is good reason to be iffy on this connector, but it is required by the rules this year. If you do not solder the wire in after you have tightened the screw, it can pull loose as you have experienced. If you solder, you need to use a larger iron and clean the copper well before you assemble the connector. Tin plating helps soldering a great deal if you have means to do this.
