Default Street Bob Detachable Side Plates

So after searching about detachable sissy bar side plates on google and this forum, I would like to get some of your thoughts. I took out my fixed side plate which runs between the fender and strut using the same bolt as the tail light. The detachable side plates I've seen are installed outside of the strut, but I don't seem to have that option because the tail light takes up the 2nd bolt. Are there any other alternatives besides using the plug-n-play mount, relocating tail light, or drilling holes into the fender? See picture attached

Tan, I recommend you ask again in the Touring section, where many more SG owners hang out. They should be able to help.
