Default Problem with a brawler solo seat

I just joined the forum and. I just bought a HD Brawler solo seat for my sporster XL1200, and i can see that even with the seat in place and the back screw well tighten, the seat moves backward when I accelerate, seems like the metal tong at the fron of the seat is to small and it does not fit tight. Had anyone had a problem like this ? any solution?

THanks!

The Harley aftermarket seats dont use the stud.
my sidekick seat sits all the way back on the fender bolt

I also have a Brawler and it comes loose
