I have had this same issue. This may not be yours, but here’s my tale of woe. Hopefully it helps. For the record, I hate this cable. And the speaker one that goes over it. But that’s just me griping.
It may be less that this part of the cable doesn’t stick, and more where you’ve positioned the next adhesive bit down. I had a MacBook Air 2017 that I used to cart around in a bag, but then it started to become stationary because every time I took it somewhere the trackpad cable would come loose. Here was my issue.
There needs to be a little bit of wiggle room in here, you don’t want such a tight fit. If the amount of cable between where it’s adhered solidly to the top case and the connector itself on the board is too short, the tension for the cable to pop out will be more than the force the latch on the ZIF connector is exerting to hold it in. Especially here where there’s a speaker that lies on top of it.
TL:DR Try seeing if it does the same thing if you peel up the adhesive holding the cable onto the underside of the keyboard. Give the cable some slack and see if it still pops out when you let go.
