Otherwise, be creative as long as it's secure and won't topple on a fish. If you need use some aquarium epoxy like the stuff called holdfast to secure the rock if you can't seem to get it how you want it securely. Critical Fertilator: The Micromanager of Macronutrients

That way if you have any digging fish or a current flow behind or underneath the rock, the rock doesn't become unstable and topple over. Landslides can do a lot of damage. A lot of people keep fiddling with their rock long after it first goes into the tank. It's tough to get it exactly like you want it to be.
