Summary
This was a quick and dirty wedge for mounting my 28" monitors above my LG OLED. I did some math to determine that from my sitting distance (~4ft) and the height that I'm mounting at (a little over a foot above seated eye level) to determine ~15 degrees would get it more straight on. This also happens to coincidentally be about as much as I could angle the monitor with this mount for the ASUS monitor I have to have it clear the wall. Also coincidentally, this makes it so the bezel of the upper monitors can be slightly hidden behind the back of my LG OLED for minimal bezel. I think it came out really well!
Here is the mount I used:

I used the included 2" lag bolts and the holes in the mount are designed to accommodate those. I put a runner board on top of the drywall for my purposes due to stud spacing. If you are going straight into a stud you'll want longer lag bolts.
Editing the model
I've included a fusion 360 model, here are some easy changes you can make:
- You can modify the triangle in the third sketch to change the angle up or down from 15 degrees.
- If your monitor or TV is thicker or you want more angle you can try extending the base from the first extrusion to pull it from the wall more.
- If you have a different mount with different holes, you can move the holes by adjusting the rectangles in the 4th sketch.
- Note: These changes might require a longer lag bolt for the top hole (it currently gets about 1" into the runner board I have installed).
Printing
You can print it on the back face without supports. I used PETG through a .6 nozzle with 0.40mm layer height and 15% infill. I used 5 perimeters for extra support around the screw holes, and to increase overall strength even though most of the work is being done by the screws.
I ran out of black PETG during the second print so I swapped in some grey. It is hidden behind the monitor so you can't see it though.
