What seems to be the problem???
I assume that you mean it keeps falling off. You need a dryer hose clamp to tighten it to the vent. Any hardware store should have them for a few dollars.
Here’s an example:

You need a vent cuff and clampd.
AAAWWWWW.......Stephanie mine was all messed up I actually bought semi rigid hose and it worked so much better than cheap foil that keeps ripping here is video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7yQXmq_BdUY
I recently replaced mine and found the hose had to be on snug before tightening the clamp. Make sure it is long enough, too.
Thanks to all for your suggestions! I was having difficulty getting the hose onto lint pipes. You utube had my answer..I had the coils too bunched together to get it over the lint pipes. When I separated them out and pushed one coil at a time, it worked really easy.
Thanks again
