Drill the appropriate holes to hold the lower cradle on the PCB.  One on either side was sufficient.  Make sure the screws you use are low-profile so your device doesn't get snagged or scratched taking it in/out.

After attaching the upper and lower cradles, I drilled out the side pieces and placed them in the assembly.  I did not have a tap for screws this small, but most of my screws were steel.  With a dot of WD-40, they tapped the aluminum nicely themselves.
