Use the method with the plastic plates, the second guide you posted was for the older revision mounting style. The plastic plates are better at aligning and piloting the motors to the gearbox.

Thanks, that's what I thought. I was just wondering why the generic metal plate still shipped with the new 2014 ones.

Because we had them and would rather give teams the mounting option to play with / customize than just throw them away.
