Another possibility, depending on the shape of the receptacle recess,
might be to encapsulate the pins(?) with RTV. Same caveats as Tony

I've
kludged together cables for a PDP-11/34 by using the pins
out of those 4-pin Molex connectors that are normally used on
disk and tape drives. We just stuck the pins in the appropriate
sockets and left it at that! Being careful not to pull on the
wire, of course.
Couldn't you get a strip of plastic and drill some suitable (stepped)
holes in it to hold the pins? OK, it wouldn't lock to the socket, and it
would probably fit either way up, but at least the pins would be kept in
the right sequence.
