Might try another type of clamping ring. Any suggestions?

Push it in further on that side, and pull it out more on the other side. Then it will have "fitment interference" and will be impossibly to pop off. The clamp should be clamped on before the ridged lip of the pipe, not on top of it, if its clamped before the ridged lip of pipe then it should be near impossible to pop off as well.

To further improve this you could also try adjusting the pipe/elbows going into the intercooler.

This, and use some hair spray on it to help it stick. LOL Old Diesel trick.
