You HAVE to use hot glue or similar to attach these to the underside of the pop cap.
If they fall off/down while the game is on they will short out against the steel pop ring.
They could use a clear mylar ring stuck to the bottom of the LED ring to prevent shorts.

Make sure you place a welding mat around the pop to protect the pf from flying sparks.

If you don't spend up for the pinballlife ones you and buy comet, I do the following. Hot glue tends to fail and the rings will fall and short. I use packaging tape and seal them in the cap. Then I take a razor and cut around the edges of the cap and cut out the center section. You basically seal it in the cap. No more shorting.

You think glue on packaging tape holds longer?

I never had any issues with the tape method. At one point I think I had over 10 rings that had shorted using the glue method or they were bad. Once I started taping I was good to go. All my machines have them.
