Burning Hunk

Hello,

I have a 7-year-old Hearthstone Manchester and just recently I noticed the middle secondary burn tube keeps sliding out of the end holes.

I can slide it back into place, but whenever hit by a reload, it comes out again on one side or the other. Any suggestions? Is there some type of hardware that fell out that is supposed to keep these tubes in place?
 
Different stove but my Flame Energy (basically an Osburn and similar to other SBI stoves) has cotter pins on the right end of the tubes that keep them from sliding to the right and falling out of the hole on the left side. They're a pain to get in.
