Howevere, this is not critical, I am actually pretty sure that 3 grab screws (M6) are enough.
There is no scneario that can cause this part to disengage and fall off.
Much more likely is that screws may become loose, causing mechanical problems like un-predictable moving of the scope assembly, resulting in star trails during longer exposures.
