Hanging cleats are always cut on a 45 degree angle and should run the width of the panel (can be shorter and spaced on a long panel). To a large degree the surface tension of the cleat faces and weight of the panel will keep the panel in place. If it needs to be secured a screw block at the bottom of the panel, with screws through the panel return will keep everything in place.

Call me dense, but I've never been able to
figure out how to, for lack of a better word, fasten the cleats together so that
if someone bumps against them they don't just fall off or get knocked
askew. Just resting the cleat onto the other cleat seems really
inadequate, even if they're cut in a slanted fashion.
Thank you for your patience.

Why
not use a cleat to hold the foam core panels to the wall? One or two
long foam core or light weight wooden strips can be hot glued to the
pack of the panel and corresponding cleats are screwed to the
wall.
The
panel slides right in place and stays there until it is removed. The
wall mounts can be taken down and stored for future use.
