advice for getting sensors to stick (g7)

I started using the Dexcom G7 less than a week ago and I have had two sensors just entirely fall off within 24 hours of putting them on. I’ve tried the over patches they fall off too. I always wipe my arm down with alcohol. I always make sure it’s dry. I always do it so there’s at least 12 hours in between when I put it in and when I’m going to take a shower I literally don’t know what I’m doing wrong.
does anyone have any advice or tricks that I could possibly try? I never really had any issues with using the G6 on my abdomen, but this arm thing with the G7 is really killing me. I haven’t even had anything snag on it or anything.
