If your old ones didn't shake around, the problem is the new lights don't fit well. I'd return them. I got a set of aftermarket lights off VIPMOTOZ and I'll say the quality is a little sketchy but they fit the mounts snug and don't move around. Only issue I found with them is once I put the HID's in, it because very obvious there's a foggy/smoky-looking film inside the housing like the plastic wasn't cleaned well before they assembled them. The taillights from the same brand are the same way. :(

 

Ive only had issues with the lower lights not snapping in tight to the plastic bracket.

I remember just sticking a hard piece of plastic in the gap for the clip on the light, and its held snug so far.

Same here; I dug around in the bolt bin until I found a thick screw I could jam into the clip to make the turn signals fit without falling out. Sucks but even the OEM ones were a little lacking in this area as well. Just not a good design. I kept trying to figure out a way to use a zip tie back there but nothing was really convenient enough to hook onto.
