How to fix a pcb without potentiometer ?

Hello,

I currently am building a squidward, and as there is no potentiometer I don't really know how to fix it on the enclosure so that it doesn't move.

Do you have any idea or advice ?

So far I soldered quite all the components on the pcb minus the led, and I am preparing the enclosure for etching.

Put electrical tape below where you plan on mounting it in the enclosure. Then tape the bottom of the board with double-sided 3M foam tape (maybe two layers depending on the thickness of the tape) after you've finished all of your soldering. Slap that sucker into place and get to octaving. Don't try to mount the PCB with the LED legs providing structural support—that's not terribly durable and that'll cause some sort of mechanical failure in the future.
 
those 2 options sound interesting. Thanks !
I think I'll go for the electrical tape and double sided tape, but using the wire can also help to maintain it.

Thanks a lot.
