Unfortunately I don't think you'll find a better design. I had the same problem and ended replacing them all, trouble is they are so flimsy and they break even when you are super careful!
The design is fine, it's user error. Trust me I know. The clips have two clicks when you push them down. The first to lock them and the second to free them. If you push them all the way down, they'll rattle right out. Be gentle while locking them and you'll never lose another one.

I made the same experience in the past.
Make it like blckbrd and everything is ok. You will never lose a cover clip anymore.

SPOT ON PUSH THEM LEVEL AND THEY STAY PUT, to take them out push in and remove.

I had no idea. Thank you for that. Here is the confirmation.....user error (I was the idiot)
One company did this. I have been toying with the idea of doing something similar. it's a hex screw with an anodized washer. just have to find a way to secure them. it would make removing those covers more of a pain, but they wouldn't go anywhere.
