The acrylic plate is a bit too thick for holding down the bottom switch housing clasps.  The aluminium plate looks to be thin enough and has a different second layer to allow them to lock.  For the acrylic plate your best bet is either get a few pcb mounted bottoms for the stabilised switched or use tape to hold the switch in place temporarily before soldering.  Might be easier to tape with a keycap on as well.

It shouldn’t be all that loose.  I’m using hot swap sockets and even without any contact with the acrylic, the switch sits tight enough without wobble.  If you’re soldering there should be even less reason for wobble.  I am using a b.87 R with the LEDs positioned on top FWIW but I don’t think it should be that much of a difference.
