I have a question that asks me 'suggest how you would ensure that the propagation of the slinky spring is at 90°, when the spring is clamped to 2 clamp stands?

You haven't given near enough information for anyone to help you.

Some wise-aleck is likely to come along and tell you to set the thermostat to the appropriate temperature.
