to mount something fixed to something else (causative?)

hi

Can I use "... to mount A fixed to B" to say "mount A on B so that A is fixed to B"???

e.g. Mount the flat-screen TV fixed to the wall.

Is there any chance "mount" is used as a causative verb in this way?

Thanks in advance,

i

Mount means to fix upon/display upon, so you shouldn't use both words. choose either Mount the flat-screen TV on the wall or Fix the flat-screen TV to the wall. (note the differenet prepositions).
