Well, the dirt and rust is not supposed to be holding the grips in the proper position anyway, so your cleaning probably just changed the size of the grips.

I guess I would try going to a good hardware store or an auto parts store and see if you can find the smallest "O" ring possible. One that is tiny, but that the grip screw will still go through. Place this "O" ring between the wooden grip panel and the frame, with the grip screw going through it. Just work slowly and carefully.

I think Ron Smith's suggestion about using a glue gun to apply a stip of glue to the back of the grips is also an excellent idea.
