The wheel covers shouldn't move that much, but one thing that helps is to have
fresh valve stems. Old ones that are dry and brittle are more likely to break
when stressed that way. The wheel cover should not be sharp where the valve
stem goes through it. You should take a look at the offending wheel cover and
see if the edges around the hole are turned in. It would also be advisable to
try another wheel cover and do so until you find one that doesn't "slide" on
the rim.
