Default Over the back return

I have an aqueon RR corner tank. I am doing a herbie drain so I need to come over the back with my return. I am using a u-tube with directional return and was wondering what is the best way to hold it in place. Don't want it moving around while water is pumping out of it. Thanks.

When you look at my build pics you'll see I used 90s to get the returns below the top of the tank

The weight of the pipe and the water in it is enough to keep it from going anywhere
