According to various aspects, exemplary embodiments are provided of apparatus and methods relating to mounting antenna components, modules, and assemblies, such as antenna modules or RF amplifier modules. In an exemplary embodiment, a fastener includes a clamping portion. An actuator is configured to convert a rotational force applied for rotating the fastener into a clamping force applied to the mounting surface generally between the at least one antenna component and the clamping portion of the fastener, to thereby mount the at least one antenna component to the mounting surface.
