foto, I've used both OEM and cheap copy hoods for years. They are thin and can become distorted. If you've got a 3rd party, maybe try an OEM hood. Or, perhaps, as you say the one you have is is worn out. For the OEM prices, they should be better than they are--especially as an extra cost item on many lower priced lenses.
You could keep the gaffer tape piece attached to the hood when not in use, but I don't like tape anywhere near my lenses.
I wonder if it is the hood or the lens causing it to be loose or maybe both.
