If the plug is coming out of the sensor, try a cable-tie around plug and sensor.
If the problem is that the plug isn't contacting the pins properly, you can induce a slight twist into each pin with a pair of needle-nosed pliers.:dunno:

Was gonna suggest the pin bend method too (pipped to the post!) - be careful though as the 'Bakelite' case is very brittle i suspect and may crack.
