After closer examination, I realised that the mast step didn't reach the edges of the trunk - it was under by almost 1/8" in places. Given the downward force on this plate, I wanted all the force applied to the entire edge. So I decided to destructively remove it. I drilled four holes in the corners, then ran my jigsaw around to remove the middle piece. I then put the trunk on it's side and cut off the top 1/8" of the piece with the jigsaw.
