Hood Latch Coil Spring

I'm having trouble keeping the coil spring in place on the front of the hood latch. I get it installed and it stays put for a couple of hood openings. Next thing I know, it's sitting on top of the hood bar. Any suggestions on how to keep it permanently in place?

Can the two sides be squeezed together to accomplish the same purpose. I'm afraid it I hit it with a punch that the spring would just pop off.
