Swingarm Chome Caps

I've lost one and the other is loose. I've ordered 2 replacement caps. What do YOU use to keep them in place? I've never had this problem before.

I had one all but out and a buddy saw it. I put Permatex clear
RTV silicone on the prongs and where the inside lip of the cap
bottoms out in the swingarm with no movement in three years.

+1 if you don't have clear on hand just have rag ready to wipe off the excess.
