When you are happy with your centering don't forget to add your secondary fixing to the mushroom. The IVA man will ask what will happen if the clamp comes loose, ie the upright will fall away from the mushy. All you need to do is drill and tap an M6 hole through the upright and mushroom and screw in an M6 bolt with some loctite.
