My solution is to put small dobs (little blobs) of silicon seal at key
points on the back of the plate. Then dip your finger in soapy water and
smooth the dobs to about 1/8" thickness --> wait overnight for the silicon
to set up and bolt that now vibration free plate back on. I also use allen
head bolts to fix the plate. Haven't seen a plate thief who carries allen
keys yet.
