Default P140RX sliding forward in bracket

My p140rx is clamped as tight as it will go but it slides forward till the bolt on the side stops it against the bracket. How do i tighten it up?

The bolt head is fine as a stop, but you can glue a piece of thin rubber to the strap and that will take up the stretch you have. Like an old bicycle inner tube, CA’d on

Didn't really work... still sliding forward. I ordered a new bracket so hopefully the old one was just bent and loosened up. Also hot exhaust fire is shooting out the side where the exhaust cone butts up to the body of the turbine and melting my air lines...
