Gauge lights coming loose?????

I put LED's in my gauges and when i put them in they worked and then the next day 2 of them stopped working. I took the gauges out again, took the bulbs out and they looked fine, so I put them back in and they worked again. Well last night the same 2 stopped working again. I kind of tapped my gauge cluster and the one flickered. I know if i take them back out and put them back in, they will probably work. But any ideas on why it is happening and how to fix it? Its extremely annoying.

Thanks in advance.

Is the bulb loose in the holder, or is the holder lose in the cluster?

I'm not really sure. I couldn't even see anything that actually looked loose. So I don't really know. I think the bulb is loose in the holder though.
