I like your method for changing orientation of the box(s)

As a veteran of FIRST, I must say, protect those cables in back. They will get hit with something, at their mounting point, when you least want it too, with the worst possible results.

You have a lot of weight you can work with, even if you are at 130lbs. If you have a drill press, put some symmetric holes in those side plates with a decent size hole saw. If that's 1/8" aluminum I can forsee about 5-7lbs you can drill out of those plates.

You look like you may have a decent CoG, so if you do drill out those plates, add weight at the bottom. But by all means, Protect those mounting points for the cables holding your stacker system.
