Welcome to the forum runner.
My forearm liner wouldn't stay latched in my Hogue either. So I latched it in place, and drilled a straight 3/32 dia pilot hole, 3/8" deep thru the liner, and the first ridge on the stock, (most aft) between the upright guide posts. Then opened the hole thru the forearm liner ONLY to 9/64". I then latched liner back into place, and installed a button head #6 screw wood screw 3'8" long. Its now solid as a rock, but if I want to remove it just take out the screw.
In this location it does not interfere with the slide rod. I would advise you to make a drill stop using masking tape around the drill so you won't accidently drill thru the stock. It works for me.
