Hey all, thanks for the responses.
Ok, when removing the old Led, there are two holes going into the board where the prongs are inserted then soldered from underneath. When I put the new Led in, it fits perfectly in place where the holes are and doesn't move. Even when you knock around the system it doesn't come out of place and works perfectly. That's great I thought. But I figured why not add a little something to the base where the prongs go into just to support it so they don't slide out. Which is why I wanted to know if there were any other easy options rather than soldering it....

If it works fine and stays in place, toss some hot glue or other non-conducting goop on there to hold it in place. At work we use RTV (room-temperature vulcanized) compound for exactly this application. It's like rubber cement for grownups. It will be available at a hardware store or auto parts store for less than $4 for the quantity that you need. If you're unsure of the quality of the hold, it is currently keeping one of the headlights of my car from falling out, so it's strong but the lighter stuff is easy to peel off if you need to.
