Chip falling out

I have a '00 Lightning with a few mods done to it. When I bought it, it had a 90mm Mass Air Meter and a Superchip. The previous owner did not run the chip in it anymore, because he said it was causing it to shut off from time to time.

The truck will run (pretty strong too) when the chip is in, however it will shut off. I am 99.9999999% sure it is because the chip is coming out. It was taped in before, but I guess the tape comes loose. I tried to secure it with tie straps, but it is nearly impossible to attach it to the back of the PCM because of the tight space (I'm a dude with dude hands....whatever).

I'm wondering if anyone else has run into this before, and if you might have some good suggestions.....

Duct tape should do it.

These days I rarely mess with chips, I am pretty much flashing all the PCMs with an SCT X2 or X3.
