molar area loose on boil and bite mouth guard?

i have a shock doctor gel nano motuhguard and the first time i boiled it, i got in on uneven. the second time im assuming i didnt push in on the cheeks enough and/or i bit down unevenly because the mouth guard slides down in the back when im not biting down and it is crooked in my mouth ( its lined up, just uneven) and im afraid to boil it again.

Update:

will this reduce the mouthguard's effectiveness?

    Ahh... welcome to the fight game brother, easy fix, just place the side of the mouth guard into the hot water again not long but enough to make it soft then put it back in your mouth and squeeze your cheeks and suck on that part on the molar... like you got a piece of popcorn in it. good luck.

    or just go buy a new one, i cant tell you how many of those things i've been through.
