Maybe attach one to the shoulder strap and a small piece of steel around the tube.
This is what I'm talking about:



I zip tied a small clip to the tube, and now I use that to attach it to the strap. The plastic D-ring is kind of hard to get hold of, but there is a loop a little higher up I should start clipping it to.
