The moss will attach itself to almost any surface in your tank, but has to be held in place while it can get a grip by itself. Although you can try and get into an opening without the need of tying, it's best if you can spread it evenly over the wood and/or decoration you want to cover and tie it with fishing line or regular cotton thread. In 2-3 weeks time you'll be able to remove the thread.

Spread it out lots. Keep trimming it down and it will thicken up over time. If you just have big chunks the bottom layer will not do well and it'll grow slower.
