Light mounting

[Stege_saurus]

I recently purchased some Popbloom RL90 lights to try out and use. Like them so far, but am having issues with mounting them. It seems no matter what I try I can't get them to line up straight. Unfortunately I can't place them on the rear of my tank due to there not being enough clearance for them. I've scrolled through many posts on here talking about them but no answers yet. Any help?

looks like the rim on the tank my be causing issues with the light mount or the mount is flimsy

Thats why i just suspended my lights from the celling. The mounts that came with mine didn't really fit on the rim of my tank. about 8 feet of 1/16th dia steel rope and a couple eyelets in the celling and bing badda boom lights are centered over the tank and it looks pretty good.

The mounts themselves are sturdy, I think it's the rim but the instructions say they fit rimmed tanks...but end up like this

I did take a razor blade and trim the lip that sticks out to hold the light or glass top just were i was mounting things in my sump, should work for the light also. But cut at your own risk. I can show you pics of what I did tomorrow, tired tonight just got in from work
