Power Head Hanging Funny

I just picked up a Penguin 1140 tonight to try and improve my water circulation a bit. I put it about half way down toward the back of the right side wall. I used the suction cup to attach it.
The problem is it hangs crooked. The whole thing is tilted down and kind of flops around a bit. Did I do something wrong? Adding more hardward is ugly enough. I'd at least like it to look like it's mounted correctly.
Thanks!

Unfortunately a lot of powerheads do this. Hydor makes a fairly decent powerhead, but their single suction cup and adpapter sucks, for just this same reason. I tend to fabricate homebrew hangers for my powerheads once I see how and where I want them placed. Easy to do with commonly available acrylic plastic and some plastic glue, and in most cases no glue or adhesive is needed. Nothig worse than having a powerhead fall on to the sandbed and make a huge mess. Hang on brackets virtually eliminate this problem.
