Has anyone figured out how to keep the Nextruder cables (and filament tubes) from falling forward?

Has anybody figured out how to get the Nextruder cables and filament tubes to lean back (like they are supposed to)? Mine fall forward enough to cause a Nextruder (when moved to the right side of the bed) to snag on the cables of the parked Nextruder. It is causing prints to fail.

I tried using a spring to pull back the cables, but I couldn't find one weak enough.

It's hard to tell from that angle, but it looks like some of your clips are not in the right spot, and it's possible that where the lengths of cable are at is not ideal.  

Maybe show a front picture as well. 

Here's a picture of mine.  They are not sagging at all and I've had my machine for a year.
