Worst case if this is a mistake then I will modify for long bolts and fill in the grooves with lead to dampen the holders. Might even do one as a comparison for my own curiosity.

Having worked in a vibration test-house … might I be permitted an observation ?

Shorter bolts [HT Cap-heads] down deep counterbores, generally give a stiffer fixing than long bolts.
