That happens. That's why I have mine partially resting on the RVM. The mirror supports it and if one suction cup comes loose the detector just sort of shifts a bit and I have time to fix it before it falls.
I wired mine like this.

That's for a V1, but the steps are the same except the X50 just clamps onto the power lead directly. You'll see when you get to Steps 6 and 7.
