Oh, this is pretty easy, you don't need triggers for it.
(and yes: the triggers you showed are really crap... absolutely worthless, sorry for the hard words )
Your trigger will not work (since "Last Created Special Effect" isn't the attachment anymore from the moment another special effect is made, you should've set it to a variable in that case).

Here is what you need to do:
Go to the abilities-section and create a new spell.
It doesn't really matter which spell you pick, as long as it isn't an active one... (like an aura)
Now set all values of that spell to 0 (or set the values so they don't do anything), then set "Art - Target" to the model you want.
Don't forget to set "Target - Attachment Point" to the point where the model needs to be attached.

Attachment points

overhead (floats over the unit's head, but doesn't sway with)
head (sways with the unit's animation)
chest (also good for wings)
origin (usually at the base of a unit's feet)
hand
foot
weapon (for heroes)
sprite (for buildings)
medium (for buildings)
large (for buildings)


Attachment Point Modifiers:
left
right
mount (for mounted units)
rear (for quadrupeds)
first (for buildings)
second (for buildings)
third (for buildings)
fourth (for buildings)
fifth (for buildings)
sixth (for buildings)
rallypoint (for buildings)

Go to the items-page, select the item which needs the attachment and give it the ability you just created.
It should now show the attachment whenever you pick up the item and dissapear when you drop it.

Good luck ^^
