14. A method, comprising:

providing a base assembly having a first fastener and a second fastener;

providing a hanger assembly having a first fastener, a second fastener, and a mounting aperture with an aperture cross-sectional width;

coupling the first and second fasteners of the hanger assembly to a support structure; and

coupling the base assembly to the hanger assembly by inserting the first and second fasteners of the base assembly into the mounting aperture of the hanger assembly;

coupling a first angled joint of the first fastener to a first opening of the support structure; and

coupling a second angled joint of the second fastener to a second opening of the support structure.

15. The method of claim 14 , wherein

the first and second fastener of the base assembly respectively include a top portion, a middle portion, and a bottom portion,

the top portion has a top width, the middle portion has a middle width, and the bottom portion has bottom width, and

the middle width is greater than each of the top width, the bottom width, and the aperture cross-sectional width of the mounting aperture.

16. The method of claim 14 , wherein the coupling the first and second fasteners of the hanger assembly to the support structure is performed before the coupling the base assembly to the hanger assembly.
