Smartest way to mount these encoders to the steppers?

hey guys

I know, many say that when using encoders on steppers, your system should be sound enough to not require them and should be designed well so that nothing stalls, misses steps, both mechanically and electronically

Im at that point

HOWEVER. I've been asked by someone very high up at my university to machine some parts for them...they saw a guitar body i made for a buddy and immediately dragged me into their office...And they want me to use wood they've had sitting aging at their house for 15 years, that was flown from half way around the world. His words were "ive been waiting 15 years for a student like you"

Needless to say, i dont care what general opinion is, i'd like the encoders on as a failsafe! Ive had these around for awhile now..Figured id put em to use.

They line up with the nema 23 mount perfectly. Can i simply put some long threaded bolts through them and the motors into my mounting plates? Or should i use some sort of nuts in between? Whats the best way to secure everything?

I thought of removing the plates and adding another hole pattern, turned 45 degrees...problem is the connections for the motors make that impossible and would obstruct the mounting screws.

Any suggestions guys?
