It looks like the compound is only making contact on a small ring vs. the entire bottom surface. This will greatly reduce the holding strength. Can we get a picture of the bottom of the compound?
You bet. As you can see, you would only want the circular bottom to touch the top of the cross slide. If the plate (or "bezel") that clamps down the circular base were to contact the top of the cross slide, the compound would be free to move.It looks like the compound is only making contact on a small ring vs. the entire bottom surface.

Do you mean .920" in length?...screws similar to the originals from ETD150. I have some .920 in diameter...
Weird... I've never seen that system. I would consider taking apart the compound assembly and make sure the surfaces are clean of oil. This will probably help increase your clamping.
