As was pointed out in a prior posts, there are 2 forms of "problems"
with the APP connector.
One is the retention force of the connector pair - in other words, "it
comes unplugged"
That problem is usually due to incorrect assembly where the connector
blades are not fully seated in the housings. This is the condition that
I first responded to.
The 2nd "problem" is that the red and black housings become separated,
and seems to be the condition that is currently being discussed. This
has to do with the roll-pin or toothpick or cotton swab shaft being
placed in the hole. I use Super Glue between the red and black housings
and have never had a problem. I on occasion use the roll-pin in
addition, but I put a drop of super glue on the pin itself before
sliding it 'home'. I have never had an APP connector where the 2
housings separate, and the glued roll-pins do not fall out.

Similar to Phil's approach, rather than using the metal roll pin, I break off a
wooden toothpick in the retention hole and put a drop of super glue on the
toothpick.
