Use a 3/8-16 nylon bolt like this from Home Depot for 95 cents

Screw into the top of the plate until it stops, draw a line on top of
the screw head that's parallel with the long edge of the plate, mark the
length for cutting, remove the screw, cut to length, cut a flat onto the
bolt head flush with the threads and parallel with the marked line on
the head. Reinstall with thread lock.
