A little help with minor problem - brake side foot peg

I have had my heel rests on for about a week. Last night on my way home from work the brake side peg+heel rest pivoted towards the ground. I can twist it back up but as soon as i put some pressure on the heel rest it pivots back down. I have included pics so you can see what I am talking about. Is there anything I can do to prevent this from happening?

I could probably pivot the shifter side heel rest down by rotating the heel rest on to different splines but I dont think the set screw really has that much play. Plus I think it is pretty comfortable as is.

How does that heel rest connect to the mounting bracket?

It looks like its rotating there, loctite or a lock washer might help but some pics of how it assembles would really help.

Have you taken it apart to see why it's loose?

Pull off the peg from the forward control. There is a torx bolt holding the brake assembly together. Tighten it up. Tighten very tight.
Refrain from putting all your weight on the stirrup.

I think that will do it. I remember seeing that torx bolt when I was putting them on. Thanks for your help.

I found a good deal on a chrome set and then had them powdercoated. Thought about just painting them myself but asked a local powdercoater and he did them for 20 bucks.
