Best fix I have tried for the CL2 is Rested Gal's 'modification'.

Cutting off the ridiculous swivel elbow at the top has made this mask the best ever and I have tried 9 different masks to this point.

Do a search for Rested Gal's CL2 fix.

The extra strap(s) I use is a leg cut off a pair of pantyhose tights. "Tights" material is soft and stretchy...stays wider than just regular pantyhose material. I use that across the front of the nasal pillows of both the Twilight NP ("Headrest/Aura") and the ComfortLite 2 (both the nasal pillows and the simple cushion.)

I tie the homemade strap behind head with a "doublestart" knot. Stays flat and secure, easy to tie quickly, easy to adjust without starting over, easy to remove in the morning just by pulling the sides outward along face:
