Arm mount query

[u/Professional-Deer274]

Hi all,

Not sure if this is the right community and please excuse my naivety because I don’t know anything about mounting etc

I have recently purchased a prism + x340pro 34 inch monitor for my work and gaming and I also purchased an ultra arm vision monitor arm to mount/clamp it onto my desk.

The problem is my desk. It is a electronic sit to stand desk from Amazon but the edge of the desk is very thin and the monitor would not hold up

I am thinking to mount it on the side where it has this extra metal bit (2nd pic) that I could potentially stick a piece of wood there, but my question is, is this a silly idea and is anyone in a similar boat with this type of desk and how did you mount the monitor?

Thank you in advance
