I haven't used that exact type of pins but I tried a similar type and had some problems with them when they were subjected to pressure from the side which resulted in them coming loose. I had to minimize the hole diameter in the circuit board almost to a press-fit size so they couldn't flex/bend but then I also got some problems with a few that were pushed up when inserted as I guess that there was to little solder fastening them - a proper press-fit pin would have been better for my case but I didn't find any that fit my needs. It could probably have been done better but I didn't have the space nor the time to experiment much more so I decided to go with longer pins and two circuit boards on top of each other. I ended up buying cheap gilded longer pins without the head from eBay (Chinese seller), similar to the ones used in the adapter below.
