Hello Curtis.

How are Yall doing

That should only be about 600W if they're incandescent. Or maybe 70W if LED.

Good and hope you guys are too.

The one picture is a boot leg lock on device.
Nice pics

That must be a pretty good device. I can’t get much more than 6 to hang from a ceiling receptacle, let alone 15.

It looks like a wall receptacle in the picture. Just shove a pile of newspapers under it for support.

Right. You wouldn't want a non-flammable support under there.

Reminds me of the "Ralphie" movie "a Christmas story" with his Christmas tree outlet

That is probably not the problem causing the burnt receptacle. The fact it is hanging down loose causing arc heating is.
Even if the breaker is tied locked in on position it wouldn't prevent tripping, just make it harder to reset. Hopefully that screw is listed. Is it a self tapping, and listed for use as a tap device for the #12 wire?

Right!!!!!! Fire people get so upset over so many piggyback plugs into one receptacle, but total amperage is way below the rating for the receptacle/wiring/breaker so why the outrage? You should see my tree....

I do agree that gravity is the real issue.

Arcing at the socket might be a concern but it wouldn't ever trip that breaker.
