I would suggest not leaving your wiring in the clamp like that. It will damage those wires.

I've used a bike innertube to cushion, and it's a non-moving part. It's only short-term anyway as I will be changing out the column soon.

Oh and I forgot to mention, the bike innertube was also to take up some slack, when the clamp is fully tightened down around the column it doesn't really clamp on it fully. Maybe it's not the original column?
