Sorry, I don't have a clue. It sounds like some adjustment
may be necessary.

If the grips are just slightly loose, so they still touch
the rings all the way round, I will suggest using double
side adhesive tape. It sticks nicely and it is not too
hard to remove the grip if servicing should become necessary.
If the grips have become very loose they must either be
replaced or reduced in length. I have a description of
that procedure on my web page.
