HKS SSQV bov coming off intercooler pipe

Hey guys i just recently installed an HKS SSQV and it keeps blowing off the intercooler pipe after i drive around for a few minutes. I was just wondering if anyone else has had this problem.

Oh and yes i have the c-ring installed right with the tapered side up.

Are you sure the c clamp is seated in the flange properly? Maybe the c clamp is just wore out.
