Heated bed connector coming loose

The connector from the heated bed to the RAMBO board keeps coming loose. I tried going back to printing in silence mode to reduce vibrations but it keeps happening. Any tips to keep this connector seated on the board?

It should not come loose if you have the cable management correct and in accordance with the manual. Without seeing any pictures, I would guess you have a cable tie or two either missing, loose or in the wrong place.

I'll try and get some pictures uploaded, but it has been printing fine for 5 months and it doesn't seem like anything is pulling on it. The connector comes just loose enough not to make a connection.

Would a zip tie going into the two bottom screw holes be of any benefit?

The zip tie may work, I'll have to take a look
