Turbo Intercooler Tubing Clamp Slides Off S70 1998

I'm referring to the black rigid tubing (about 2" dia) that comes up over the top of the engine. I think it's called the intercooler tube? ...

Anyway, the tube transitions into a piece of rubber hose on the firewall side. Because of an apparent slight bevel on this rubber hose, the clamp wants to slide off when tightened. I've tried cleaning off any grease & oil, and even if I'm able to get it to "stay", it pops off with minimal boost pressure.

With no clamp, I can only get about 5 psi, versus 9-10 psi normally.

Anyone else run into this? Thanks for any help.
