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)

+++ 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.

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