If you don't want to glue, grab a couple of neo-magnets. and set them inside the sprocket cover in a way tat it touches the screw head. Couldn't hurt to file a bit of the screwdome flat for better surface area. Get the strongest magnet you can for the space so you don't use your cap when runnng through heavy brush. K & J magnets has a great selection.
You can use a removable glue like rubber cement or a strong PVA that'll hold, but allow it to come off if you need access. I glue all of mine in place and haven't had one pop off in 12 years, unless I was popping it off intentionally.

I used the Neo magnets on my JS-2 for the same purpose. they hold on well but I can easily remove them if i need to take the sprocket off. I got mine off evilbay. They come in all sizes and diameters so it shouldn't be to hard to find a set that will work for the Tiger
