On my last trip a similar thing happened to me but fortunately I caught it before my stem got a hole in it. Almost 2/3 of the way through my 5000 mile trip one of my rear wheels was reading low. So at one of our stops I went to air it up and saw that the rim had slipped and had cut a grove into my TireMinder TPMS sensor and was nearly through and was very close to breaching my Borg stems from Yourtireshopsupply.com. I retighted my 170lb tensile strength black nylon zip ties and at the next stop rechecked the Simulator and stem for movement and again the simulator was contacting the Borg stem. I have rubber discs installed to support the stems but when the Simulator moves it forces the disc under the stem hole and allows contact by the Simulator. I had bought these much larger 250lb tensile strength cable ties,

They are super strong, 2 evenly spaced on my Simulator really locked it down. I then started looking at all my wheels to try and figure out why none of the other Simulators were moving and I realized that on all the other wheels the Simulator holes and steel wheel holes were aligned perfectly so the zip ties where perpendicular to the holes. The Simulator that moved I had the holes misaligned so the zip ties were at an angle and I think that angular pressure as well as the increased diagonal length allowed the Simulator to slip. I did find 2 holes equidistant from each other that were aligned in which to add the 250lb zip ties to and that solved my problem. I aired up the tires and no more issues. So my lesson learned is use 250lb cable ties and install so they are perpendicular to the holes in the wheel and Simulator, not angled, straight up and around.
