a backer, wherein the backer is:
selectively coupled to a first prong of a first vertical member of the modular wall and selectively coupled to a first prong of a second vertical member of the modular wall, and
configured to register the first panel and the second panel relative to each other;
a geometry defined by an edge of the first panel, an edge of the second panel, and an end face of the backer; and
