Hi. I have followed the steps to #3. “Using a small flat head screw driver, turn the screw in the side of the microphone clockwise until it is tight. “ However, the connector does not stay in place. It is still loose where the connector moves inside the microphone. I cannot get it to sit tight .

Hi. I followed up to step #3. However, the connector does not stay tight. It keeps on moving inside with a little push.
