Default Mercury 500 gear shift linkage

Cable attachment to the forward/reverse drive shaft keeps slipping off. Not sure how to keep cable housing connected to the shaft without it slipping off almost everytime I shift it into forward or reverse.

The cable housing is like a cap that fits over the shift rod, not really sure what locks it in place.
