What sort of knurling tool are you using?
The clamp style knurling tool is far better for your lathe than the standard (one sided) type and isn't likely to move your tool post.

It is a scissor type and the tool turned away from the headstock causing holder to turn.

PS I have got it setup in rear tool post now so shouldn’t be a problem now.

Yes I have taken the top off and they are definitely blind holes , it seems the larger Multifix has through holes but not small ones.
I ended up turning a pointed stud inserting it in hole squaring holder and tapping with a soft hammer and it marked it just enough for me to centre punch and drill , all back together now.

I also use my clamp style knurling tool in the rear toolpost.

I do that all the time, especially with parting and threading tools where it matters to be square on to the job…
