a first main body and a second main body, the first main body spaced apart from the second main body, and each of the first main body and the second main body having an adhesive backing; and
an adjustable connector coupling the first main body to the second main body, the first main body having a first angled wall and the second main body having a second angled wall,
wherein the second angled wall of the second main body is angled in a direction opposite the first angled wall of the first main body,
wherein the second angled wall of the second main body contains two apertures configured to receive the adjustable connector,
wherein each of the first angled wall of the first main body and the second angled wall of the second main body are configured to receive the adjustable connector therethrough, and
wherein the first angled wall and the second angled wall are oriented so that a movement of the first main body toward the second main body by the adjustable connector in operation results in a downward force being applied to the first main body and the second main body.
