I agree.
I just turned a piece of 12mm thick steel into a disc with a hole in the middle to attach the mount. This was then bolted to the top of the pier. It is eyeball level which is plenty accurate enough. It just has to be level enough that the mount will balance on the top not causing any lateral flex.
As it will never be moved until I buy a new mount in the distant future it doesn't need to be adjustable.
