    Loosen the set-screw on the mount for the switches and then slide it back into place and re-tighten the set-screw.

    It was harder that anticipated, as the screwhead was stripped, and after assembly i realized that i had not tighted them enough to they went loose again :(

    Drop of glue might help.
