Default New solution to cat rattle?

My cat heatshield rattles when its warm, and its starting to rattle now. A while ago I took off the bottom heat shield, bot the top still rattles and I dont wanna take the top off. I got a new idea though.

Do you think it would be ok to put a screw clamp from an intake and tighten it onto the neck of the heatshield to stop it from moving? Will there be any issues with the heat?

believe it or not, i've seen this before. but with slightly bigger clamps over the part of the cat body that's cylindrical. in theory, it's kind of half-assed, but it actually works real well.
