Another way is to pull out the entire enclosure and use "L" brackets and secure the enclosure to the beauty plate, then push it back in. You will need to secure the entire structure by bolting through the back some way. Maybe through the factory sub hole, arm rest hole etc.

Also consider industrial strength velcro...
