Please fasten/Tighten the whiteboard in the way that it does not fall.
Does my sentence sound correct?
Thanks.

I would say "...so that it does not fall." Or if you want to use 'way', you can say "...in such a way that it does not fall."

But tighten is a strange word to use. You tighten the screws that hold the whiteboard to the wall, but you don't 'tighten' the whiteboard. I would expect to see something like 'Make sure the whiteboard is fixed firmly [to the wall]'.

Please hang the whiteboard on the wall in such a way that it does not fall down.

Are you talking about a whiteboard which is secured to the wall, or a free-standing one? (Click on the links to see an example of each.)
