How to mount a flat cap to a truss tube?

Hey all,

I'm building a custom dust cap with a built in EL panel for flats (and yes using a shroud), and I'm trying to figure out how to mount the servo assembly to the truss?

My first idea was that I could clamp the assmembly on the truss itself, but I worry that might affect mirror alignment?

The second thought was maybe I could find a set of clamps that could clamp to the front. Although I'd need to find a set that also has a thread to mount a plate on top

The last option is that I use some M16 bolts to mount in the holes in the front

But yeah, I'm keen to see if anyone else has done something similar? And I've attached photos for reference
