After much deliberation about what to do about the front holes from ignoring it (the middle screws probably would keep it from popping out) to drilling/tapping the mounting bracket for new screws (which I didn't want to do because then requires multiple tools to remove the cover)... I finally decided to do it "right" and relocate the anchor holes.
I fashioned little brackets to hold mounting anchors, and screwed the brackets onto existing mounting anchors... see photo.
The brackets were mounted with some other sheet metal screws and the official MB screws are what is accessible from outside. I also had to drill and paint relief holes in the original mounting brackets to allow the MB screw to poke through.
