how can I  join 2 "stud receptacles" together?

I saw this:

and the method for butting 2 old pnu cylinders together is cool, and
WORKS. I tried it with the 90 degree 1/2 beam as well, and it ALSO works.

there is a TINY bit of slop, and am looking for a  ???? thing to tie the
two together.

A technic 1/2 pin -> stud part wont work, cause of the lack of depth in
the "brick" portion of the cylinder.

The method that I've used is this:
- stick a 2x2 brick under each cylinder
- stick 4 friction pins inside one 2x2 brick
- join together, and restrain on the outside with 5-hole studless beams
(could use 1/2 width, full width, or old-school 1x6 beams)

It's a little longer, but very stiff...
