So first I stopped half way through tying a 10mm bungee net for the bed of my ute so do I start tying again
 
Some units are spring loaded and compress the sorb I think? I think the inspo did that. The prism2 I dive has a spring that keeps the sorb canister against an o ring, but no heavy spring to keep sorb compressed inside the sorb canister — just a thin foam thing.

The KISS Spirit units utilize set of springs in the head, which apply pressure to a wire mesh lid positioned atop the scrubber material. While the exact degree of compression unclear, springs effectively fill any minor gaps in the sorb and secure it to prevent movement.

Driving around with your canisters to pack them seem pretty silly as an intentional activity. I just whack on the sides of the canisters with a soft side 1KG weight. That does a great job of packing without mangling my hands in the process. When I load the CCR's in the car they are always vertical.
 
If you think a car or a boat ride is bad, you should have a team of 10 dry cavers haul your packed sidewinder, bailouts, drysuit, and lead in pieces a few kilometers through a dry cave then assemble it and dive.
