V-Twin power jack issue

[seth155]

does anybody else have a problem with the cable-part of the connection being too loose in the power jack?
the power cable is a genuine Mesa Boogie (AC-1, if that makes a difference)
the connection is so loose that any movement at all causes the pedal to lose power.
seems like its a pretty bad design flaw
any fix to this?
i was thinking just duct tape it into position

well, i made the major mistake of opening this thing up to see if i could fix, or replace the piece and now i cant get it back together.
