There is a little metal clip that helps hold it in; it clips around the sensor, I think it holds it in the brake pad by friction. If you don't see that on the brake pad sensor anywhere, that might be your problem.

Myself, the last time I changed my brake pads I just tie-wrapped the pad sensor out of the way to the strut. I'm in there often enough to know when my pads are wearing thin without the sensor tripping to tell me.
