1. A method for maintaining a coupling gap between a coupling element and a radiating element using an antenna carrier in an information handling system, the method comprising:
applying, by one or more springs disposed on an inner surface of the antenna carrier, a first lateral force on the antenna carrier along a first direction;
causing, by the first lateral force, the antenna carrier to translate outwardly toward an edge of a mounting surface along the first direction, the antenna carrier slidably coupled to the mounting surface;
receiving, by one or more standoffs disposed on an outer surface of the antenna carrier, a second lateral force from an inside surface of a device cover of the information handling system along a second direction, the second direction opposite to the first direction;
causing, by the second lateral force, the antenna carrier to translate inwardly away from the edge of the mounting surface along the second direction;
causing, by the first lateral force and the second lateral force, the one or more standoffs to maintain the coupling gap between the coupling element and the radiating element;
receiving, by a compressible material disposed on a longitudinal surface of the antenna carrier, a first longitudinal force from the inside surface of the device cover along a third direction, the third direction orthogonal to the first and the second directions;
causing, by the first longitudinal force, a compression in the compressible material; and
causing, by the compression of the compressible material, the antenna carrier to apply a second longitudinal force on the mounting surface to secure the antenna carrier in a longitudinal position.
