Default beadlocks

I received my axail just before leaving for Florida two weeks ago. Of course I put it together and ran it before going. Here's the problem, I didn't take the time to trim the foams before putting the tires on the wheels and now my tires keep popping out of the beadlocks on the inside. Will cutting the foams eliminate this problem?

They shouldn't pop out of the beadlocks regardless of the foams. I think you're either not seating the tires in the bead correctly, not tightening them enough, or have stripped the screws.

I haven't stripped the screws, maybe not tightening enough as the directions warn against over tightening.
