I was going to have all 3 cutouts available. Due to the fact that when you do that there is only a very little bracket material above the screw, it would be possible to damage the bracket with enough upward force. I’m going to add the cutout to the center channel and you should be able to slide the fasteners right in. The risk of damage from upward force will be mitigated also.
Also, how is it that no one else has figured this out yet?

this was the change I was referring to LOL. |
Haha, I've built a lot of stuff out of 80/20, and I don't think I've ever managed to get all my slide-in connectors inserted without having to disassemble part of my project after forgetting them! The roll-in connectors solve the problem most of the time but some of the special connectors have to slide in.
FWIW, if you put the one cutout on either the left or right side, you'd have access to the front slot from one side of the rig, and access to the back from the other, although perhaps the desire for symmetry outweighs having access to two slots.
This is a great design BTW, I've been window shopping rack solutions for a while and this is looking like it might be the best fit for my needs.
