Some folks have cut a piece of light metal to stiffen it and put in on the underside. There should be a rubber nub on the left side and the end to keep it from doing that.

Does it have all three tabs? The two centre ones have hooks and the rear one has a hook on the edge by the pull knob. If any of those are missing that could be an issue. You just may have to purchase a new one.
One of the vendors (don't remember who) here sold a replacement that was hard plastic. I was to be used to mount switches outlets or whatever.
Honda may still have them in stock. #22 on the parts "fish" about $20.

Is this cover made of vinyl or something similar. I remember my Vetter Windjammer III having some vinyl covers that snapped over the pockets. That fairing was a heavy beast but it made riding a lot more comfortable.

No this is a soft rubber. The windjammer III as you mentioned was of vinyl with dome snaps to hold it in place IRC
Any idea on how this hard plastic version is held in place. The right hand cover is locked in place.

Ah got it. That EC bit looks pretty nice. At $10 I almost want to get one and I don't even own an 1100.
On my 95 I just added a daub of silicon to the tabs that were worn to create a tighter fit. Not permanent, I think I had to do the fix again in about 50 k miles
Only 50k? Dilly dilly.
What the hell is dilly dilly?
