My Nextruder thumb screw has a tendency to loosen

The top Nextruder thumbscrew keeps working itself loose and I have to periodically check it and hand tighten. Not really a problem per se but still annoying. Does anyone else experience this? I'm guessing maybe nozzle torque and vibration is working it loose? I suppose a remedy of sorts is to create a cap to go over both screws to prevent them from rotating.

I haven't found this, but it is a worry of mine granted I swap nozzles at least weekly. I wonder if you could put a spring onto that one to help keep it in place (similar to this Bondtech one) as it's not surrounded by cables like the bottom one is

I would be worried that I pinch something. It's not concerning enough that it's something for me to address just yet. I had a spare thumb screw so I replaced it. Will report back if it gets loose again.
