Then is there any way to keep it from flopping around in the lego brick?

Actually hot glue won't effect it. Hot glue doesn't conduct and thats how the factorys secure it to the casing anyway.

I would drill a small hole in the top so you could turn it into a key chain.

Same thing I did a while back. Except that I used a hobby knife to cut most of the plastic to the size I needed and then hand-sanded the inside walls of the brick to as close to the right thickness as I could. Be thankful you had the proper tools!
