I made mine 1” / 2,5 cm thick at the bottom and tapering off all the way up to the hinges, and taped it to the foot plate with a quality carpet tape (the thick end is contoured to fit the bottom shape of the footplate) So far it has stayed in place for abt 6 months with no signs of falling off.
Total time spent: 15 minutes, if you have the stuff in house

Also about the IT band: I started concentrating on keeping my feet touching and knees brushing past each other as I pushed and pulled rather than splayed apart.
