Take care that the assembly does not fall.

Using a machinist's precision square, ensure that the two extrusions are perpendicular to each other.

Apply pressure in the directions shown and fully tighten the two M5x10 screws.

Verify that the assembly is still square after tightening. Correct it if needed.
