Default Clamping new armored cable run to existing conduit

I'd like to run a new circuit of armored cable ("BX") alongside an existing
conduit. 1/2" conduit clamps don't get tight enough to hold the armored
cable very well. Does somebody make a clamp for this application? Would
fastening the AC to the conduit with a plastic cable tie be NEC "legal"?
How about stainless steel cable ties (i.e. fireproof) ?

TIA,
Paul

They make BX (AC) straps. They look like the ones you have, only smaller
