A fastening system for coupling an object having object openings to a base can with a flange having base can apertures. The fastening system includes a clip with an upper arm and a lower arm each extending from a spreader that separates the upper and lower arms. The clip is configured to engage the flange such that the flange is positioned between the upper and lower arms. The clip is configured to retain a nut having a nut opening with internal threads between the lower arm and the flange such that the nut opening is aligned to one of the base can apertures. A coupling system with a threaded member is configured to couple the object to the base can by extending at least through one object opening and one base can aperture, and also extending at least partially into the nut opening to engage the nut.
