Here is the best I can do at the moment- this is a screenshot from one of our on-board GoPro cameras. The motors are attached using the mounting holes for the mounting plate as these are located on a 2" bolt circle. The threads were drilled out and two 10-32 bolts were used to attach the MiniCIM. The bolts were Socket Head Cap Screws. The bolt heads had to be machine to a smaller diameter to allow them to fit into the rear of the planetary. The shaft on the MiniCIM was also shortened to about 3/8" so that it would not impinge into the VersaPlanetary. We also inserted a 2mm keyway instead of relying on just the setscrew to hold the shaft.
