Clamp wont hold coupler on chargepipe/intercooler

So I recently put jb4/jb4 connect, activeautowerke chargepipe/bov, and bms intake on and the chargepipe I bought off a guy. I've been having problems with the clamps not holding the coupler on good (spectre) any good fix or any better couplers and clamps I could use? keep getting boost leaks and it keeps popping off it gets real annoying I can do a few pulls then it will leak or pop off :/ and the coupler doesnt have any leaks.

Edit: I'm also getting my downpipes in tomorrow morning so I want the boost leak fixed so I can actually use my car and have fun :/

Edit2: They are worm clamps, are t-bolt clamps better?

Yes t-bolt clamps are much better. Also you may want to try some hair spray arund the pipe to get the coupler to hold on better. If you dont want to use hair spray make sure the pipe and coupler are cleaned really well and free of any oil.
