Oil the filter element. Clean both mounting surfaces with brake or carb clean. I push the base of the pod with one hand and tighten with the other. If you tighten too tight they will pop off. I snug down on them give them a tug when I think they are just right enough and they always stay.

I had the same problem when I installed dual pods last year, my experience is that there is a thin film of silicone or something of that sort on the rubber part of the new pods, I used some solvent to clean it off and then everything was good.
I agree that the torque is low otherwise it may "press" the pods off.
