A quick release plate can be attached to a weight plate by using a screw that passes through a clear hole in one plate and threads into the other plate.
If all holes are threaded, one hole must be drilled out to create a smooth pass-through opening for the screw.
When using a screw with the threads stripped near the neck, the fastener can pass through without engaging with the receiving threads.
Spacers or washers may be needed between the quick release plate and weight plate to provide clearance for mechanical components like levers to operate properly.
The quick release plate should be positioned on top of the weight plate during assembly.

The solution depends on having access to a drill and appropriate drill bits if holes need to be cleared.
Specific screw lengths and types needed were not detailed in the thread.
The discussion references a Manfrotto quick release plate specifically but principles may apply to other models.
The final solution was found but not fully documented in the thread.
