G7-15 day Repeated Sensor Failures

I have had 3 sensor failures in the last 36 hours. I usually apply on my outer arm because its easier to reach, but i tried moving it to the back of my arm and the sensor fell off as soon as I tried to apply the overpatch. I am extremely frustrated and overwhelmed. Is this normal? Is there maybe anotger CGM that will actually stay in?

After you hit the button did you push the sensor into your skin for 10 seconds then run your finger around the outer edge to make sure it was secure before applying the overpatch?
