I feel like the biggest issue here is if you accidentally sink the bolts too far into the board, there are not enough threads to actually tighten the nuts down enough to get the truck on without it moving, which completely defeats the purpose of this specific type of bolt.
Got a set of this sort of bolt from someone who was sick of them doing that exact thing, so I swapped them out for some regular bolts with a lot more thread and he was happy.
Kept this set just as an interesting keepsake for a laugh.
They do not fit on lower forged baseplates either, so that is another thing to be aware of - only cast plates and don't tighten the nuts too much.
Any bolts on any truck if not tightened down enough will cause the baseplates holes to widen out, even brand new bolts, so make sure those things are as tight as they need to be.
One other thing I do is cut up stickers and put them under the baseplate, as per some pro tip back in the day, but if you are really having issues with baseplates moving, even just a couple of strips of thin double sided tape work wonders in stopping things moving around. Same way some people put them under rails before mounting. Easy to put on, easy to get off, but keeps them exactly where they should be, so say the people who do that.
