you got two options here.

1) Shim the hingepin tight, this will top the pins from popping, mainly.

2) Buy the allow pin mounting brackets.

Also, if you are on the (low) budget, you can replace those suspension mounts with the carbon reinforced ones (M parts #54036 such as this) and replace the suspension balls and inner suspension blocks with the carbon version on the A parts (#54033). I bought and installed my alu pieces before I realized there are cheaper alternatives to it.

I am on a tight budget and I have the alloys on the front and the carbon-reinforced ones on the back. Had to get a new lot of A-parts anyway for the diff-covers, so figured I may as well get the carbon ones and changed those bits too. Hasn't happened to me since. When I have more money, I'm gonna get the alloys for the back too, but I'd rather save up and get some trf dampers first.

The problem with the kit bits is that they are soft and flexible, so they 'give' and the ball pops out. The alloys (and to some extent, the carbon-reinforced ones) flex less and don't give, so the ball stays in.
