My chloroplast was sagging and I worried about it coming loose. I got some light gauge angle "iron" that has slots and holes in it, like uni-strut does. I screwed that to the frame, side to side. Helped a lot. Used stainless steel self drilling self tapping screws from Fastenal. Not sure how far below the frame your new insulation is. Might have to use longer screws.
I just stuffed some unfaced, loose fiberglass insulation in the voids for now. Seems to be holding up, no signs of moisture. Its well behind the drip line, so it shouldnt get wet. Your angle installation is a good idea, that would help make this a much more permanent solution.
