The techniques disclosed herein provide an enhanced mount for a camera module. The mount comprises at least a first side and a second side. The sides are formed to enable contact with at least a portion of the camera module. The sides are configured with openings to enable a fastening material, such as an adhesive, to secure the camera module to the mount. Openings within the mount enable the use of a fastening material to secure the camera module to at least one surface of the mount while allowing the camera module and at least one surface to maintain the mechanical contact. In some configurations, one or more openings are formed such that a contraction of the fastening material pulls the camera module toward at least one surface of the mount.
