The metal base on regular 9 pin sockets is too narrow for most EL84's to fir down into the socket. Here's how you mount an EL84 in a 9 pin socket.
Take just about any 9 pin socket and remove the metal base that the tube shield mounts to.
Get one of the EL84 spring/clamps that has a two hole mounting base.
Clamp down your 9 pin socket with the EL84 spring/clamp combo.

The EL84 spring/clamp holds the socket nicely.
I sell a 9 pin ceramic socket that does not have a tube shield base attached to it on my tube sockets page.
I sell the EL84 springs on my Tubes page
