MBP 2016 USB-C ports too sensitive

I thought I was replying to a thread that was started a while ago, but the forum wants me to start a new so this is related to: USB-C plugs fall out

While my USB C plugs don't fall out, the slightest movement of the MBP or external drive cause a disconnect. I have set all the preferences to undo any bluetooth and not sleep the drives. I know when the laptop moves the drive disconnects. I have four USBC plugs. I have the Gdrive EVRaw 4TB - so it is the rugged one. These ports should be more rugged than this. Could it be the Drive port? Sure it could, but I also see this with the power cord on another port. So I suspect it is the MBP.

I think this is insane to have such a sensitive port. If anyone has similar experiences or better yet a solution I would love to hear it.

What I offer is what I have seen pro photographers do to secure their USB C peripherals who go in the field and move their laptop and drives around a lot. They need the external drives for their photos. They use industrial velcro and velcro the drives and in some cases their card readers to the lid of the laptop to keep them more stable and not risk them falling or moving. Here is a pic from this link. http://www.steves-digicams.com/blog/photographing-the-olympics/. I have submitted my complaint to Apple also.
