Can you remove the post? It's best if you can, and then use epoxy. Could depend on the exact shape of the bottom of the post and whether it's a friction fit or if the clarinet was molded over it. It might take some force to remove but there's a fine line between removing it and breaking the plastic to remove it. The former has no issues, the latter is also sometimes the best option actually, it depends.

It's unlikely to be a smooth friction fit, but if it is, then as jdbassplayer wrote it's best to have a way for the air to escape. Usually best is a tiny channel from the bottom to under the top base.

>> will prevent it being screwed in too far and beyond the point of rotation where you need it to be <<

Those methods only really work well for threaded posts.
