I had the same problem. I had to cut the wires so that they didn't extend below the bottom of the clamp. It did correct my moving thermostat issue.
I think originally the thermostats were held in place by the way the hoses were molded.
I have seen old, original hoses that narrow just above where the thermostats sit in the head. I'm guessing, but it makes sense to me. The new aftermarket hoses (at least the ones I bought), are the same I.D. from end-to-end, so there's nothing to hold the thermostats in place.
