			In principle, the distance between top of the PCB, and bottom of the top plate should be around 8.0mm, according to my estimations, so the angled buttons should fit... I will add two screw holes to mount shoulder-buttons with self tapping screws, hole diameter 3mm, screw heads 5.5mm, so two 3.0mm holes 5.5mm apart.

			The optional top-plate would cover up the buttons underneath (with the button caps sticking through), as well as making a cross shaped (3D printed) D-PAD possible. for a more professional look.
