    Buy a piece of angle iron that fill just fit under the v channel, some construction adhesive or epoxy, and a couple of hose clamps. Glue the angle iron to the V channel and then use the hose clamps to tighten it in place. The glue will keep it from moving around and squeaking.

    A +1 to Boomzilla Volcanodu’s answer that mentioned hose clamps.

    Near the sides (stile?) of the chair back, I put hose clamps to clamp together the middle rail, and the splat (? It’s not a wooden chair though; as you sit back on a cushiony padding).

    Anyways, for some reason, the squeaking and creaking from chair movement stopped.

    The maximum length of the hose clamp was 1 ½ inches, or 38 mm. The minimum is 13/16 inches, or 21 mm.
