Most use velcro or some type of tape. there are VFG out there that have a pocket for a remote switch on them (https://tangodown.com/shop/tangodown-foregrip-vertical-iti/)

Velcro, 100 mph tape (duct tape), bicycle inner tube, zip ties or rubber bands.
I have avoided running a pressure switch on a vfg for a long time now, for me I have found that the only way to activate the switch reliably is by choking the grip. Also I try to avoid pressure switches entirely. |

Some of the newer (expensive as stand alone) and some devices are coming with pretty damn good switches. They always usually are the single point of failure though. As long as I have a manual triggering back-up, ill run them on the rail (12 o'clock) at my support hands natural potion. Can you get yours to do that instead of mounting to the VFG?

If you plan to leave it on all the time, I suggest looking at the other grip options. I have not bought a forward grip in a LONG time but I use the Tango Down grip and it has lived on my M4A3 for fifteen years or so. The storage space is nice too as I keep spare batteries in mine,
The KAC grip is nice but for a permanent addition with the tape switch there are better options and that's from a guy out of the loop! |

Velcro the switch in the 11 o'clock gap between the 12 and 9 o'clock rails, then tape the cord down. That keeps the switch from being bumped most of the time.

The guys saying inner tube have the correct answer.

Try the tubes and Velcro. They will work. If you don't like it, consider the tango down grip

My backup gun with a less expensive streamlight, but the principle is the same with the sf switch. You get the idea.
My cord is sloppy and loose because i just changed batteries, and this model is a pita with the cord.  Attached File Attached File |

A bike inner tube or black tactical tape aka 3M electrical tape with double sided sticky tape on the back side works well. IMHO it's an advantage to be able to operate your white light with either weapons or support side especially on a 2-way range. It also a good idea to have multiple ways to be able to turn on your light by running a dual switch.
