Gob some ShoeGoop (rubber cement) on your end plugs and jamb 'em in.
(The rubber cement stays flexible so you can still pry the end plugs out later)

Wrap the ends of the caps with electrical tape and push 'em back in.

+++ I've even used a bit of white glue (Elmers). Dries rubbery and peels off easily. Obviously there are lots of easy ways to solve this issue.

Try banging them back in while you're riding at speed. That will cure you from worrying about it ever again.

I think everyone has made this attempt once. Once.

Went out for a ride and came back with one less Fizik plug.
