its been a few years but if i remember correctly i think i just used some self taping screws my dad had laying around at the time. i eventually added on a another bar ( 2 on each side) using a strip of metal that i found in the hardware section at lowes in one of the "specialty hardware" drawers.

the idea @vetteguy53081 is good too and can also be attached with some self taping screws unless you wanna get all fancy and actually tear the whole fixture apart and put in a small bolt/nut/washer on the inside

Ended up using a size 8 bolt with a washer between the OR3 bracket mount and the ATI, and then 2 nuts on the inside of the ATI to hold it all in place. It was the perfect combo and the OR3 sits super cleanly on the ATI
