1. An electronic device comprising:
a support structure that includes a radiation shield groove that extends past a surface of the support structure and into the support structure;
a radiation source disposed on the support structure; and
a radiation shield surrounding the radiation source, wherein the radiation shield includes a wall secured to the support structure and a groove channel coupling wall that extends past the surface of the support structure and into the radiation shield groove,
wherein the groove channel coupling wall includes a groove coupling portion at its distal end angled outwardly from the radiation shield, and an angled configuration directing the groove channel coupling wall away from the radiation shield such that, when the groove coupling portion is engaged within the radiation shield groove, the groove channel coupling wall is biased towards the radiation shield, creating a force that presses the groove coupling portion against an outer edge of the radiation shield groove to secure the radiation shield in a fixed plane relative to the support structure.
