Tie the clip on with a piece of braided nylon line.

Like that, but tie it around the metal lp hose fitting. Tie it tight. Super tight. Make sure you melt the ends of the line into the knot so it won't come untied.

Here is a good article about attaching a bolt snap with cave line. In the example, they are attaching it to a light, but the same knot is used for a regulator. I have mine tied at the end of the lp hose. There is a location where there is a recessed space, perfect for the amount of cave line used. Doesn't interfere with the use of the reg at all.

That's exactly why cave line is better. Zip ties fail rather unpredictably, cave line doesn't. It frays and is real obvious when its time to replace it.
Zip ties work as a save-a-dive type thing just fine, but its only a temporary solution.

How about the clip retainers like the one from DR? My Hog D1 singles kit came with one for the SPG and after 100 dives over the last 12 months it seems to be in new condition.
I never bought anymore though since they are expensive compared to cave line and I always have a bunch of line lying around whenever it's needed.

Those were low quality zip ties then. Some are known to become brittle through exposure to UV light. Good quality zip ties will last you forever.
How are the ones holding your mouthpiece holding up? Yes, there are different grades of them.....
