We have the same problem you do. The best way to fix your problem is with a shovel. Seriously, pull it out and reset it. Then set your braces lower on your corner post. Next, run two brace wires. One from the top and one from the bottom so that they form an X on your corner. Use high tensile wire and ratchets. I finally got mine to stop coming out when I put the second wire on. I had been using one wire from the top of the brace post to the bottom of the corner post like I do when I build corners for barb wire fences. That isn't enough to keep a five wire high tensile corner in. Add a second brace wire from the top of the corner to the bottom of the brace post. If you use high tensile wire and make two wraps around on each brace wire you can use the ratchet and get a really solid corner. One thing to watch though is you can actually lift both posts right out of the ground if you over tighten the wires.
