I don’t like the o-ring mount on the MagicShine clones so I have converted all of mine to this kind of mount . I find it to be much more stable. It wouldn’t be that hard to convert your light to the same mount. Alternatively, I’ve attached some lights directly to the slider mount by lopping off the ears and drilling a hole through the slider. You just have to use a bolt with a short head or a counter sunk one.

Here’s a not so good picture of the latter
