Thank you 3DDave for you detailed reply. And thank you Doug Hunter for affirmation of 3DDave's response.
For 3DDave I do have another question. When you say that the width of the other hook "would be controlled with an angle with a noted that the angle is measured relative to the primary and...

That makes sense. Thank you!
Regarding making it easier to fixture, why would this be the case? In regards to my...
