In one embodiment, the pair of opposed arms 702 extend in opposite directions from each other. In one embodiment, the pair of opposed arms 702 may be in the shape of a delta shape, like a delta wing. In this manner, given the placement and orientation of the recess 120, rotatable structure 112, and the screw opening(s) 106, a single pair of opposed arms 702 can engage two screws 104 positioned within a pair of screw openings 106 when the rotatable structure 112 is in a locked orientation. The arm 114 serves to restrict back-out of the screw 104. The rotatable structures 112 also include a drive feature 118 that can receive torque from a driver to rotate the rotatable structure 112 between the locked orientation and an unlocked orientation.
