No I do not have it. I can tell you that the single zip tie around the whole rubber connector will do more to create vacuum leaks than to prevent.
EDIT, text added: Zip ties can be used, but work much better if you slice out enough rubber between the pipe holes to use 2 zip-ties, 1 around each pipe. If you do that, it means you will connect/disconnect the pipe at the other end during plenum pulls, where the small spring clamp is.

I haven't personally done what I'm about to suggest, but have sure thought about it while having difficulty with that pipe & the rubber connector. Why not cut off a short section of the plastic pipe & glue it into the connector? Then get a section of vacuum hose long enough to eliminate the looped section of plastic pipe so it's not so hard to install.
