Mounting arrangement for attachment to device sockets and methods of making and using

A mounting arrangement for coupling to a device having a pair of sockets, the mounting arrangement comprising:

• a mount comprising a base, a ball, and a neck coupling the ball to the base;
• two device engagement units, each of the device engagement units comprising a receiving platform and a leg extending from the receiving platform, each of the legs of the two device engagement units comprising a male socket engagement element configured to engage a different one of the sockets of the device;
• and
• two fasteners, each fastener configured to fasten the mount to a different one of the two device engagement units,
• wherein the mounting arrangement is configured for the base to be received by, and fastened to, both of the receiving platforms of the two device engagement units and for the base to form a wedge pushing the male socket engagement elements of the two device engagement units into engagement with the sockets of the device to non-rotatably secure the mounting arrangement to the device, wherein the receiving platform of at least one of the device engagement units comprises a tab and the receiving platform of at least one of the device engagement units comprises a recess configured to receive the tab.
