Tone arm holes do not line up - best way to attach TT?

I bought a new Reed tone arm (3p 12" Tonearm Ruthernium) and the holes do not line up on my Haas table. I'm new to vinyl ... can I attach it with double sided tape? I can use silicon which is strong and can be easily removed? Or, does this approach negate the dampening of table? I've  gone to great lengths to isolate with a rack, spikes and 3" thick maple slab that the TT rests on. What is the "normal" way when that happens? Thanks in advance.

@millercarbon has it totally right when he said make boards up for yourself. I bought a piledriver drill for £50.00 bought the drill bits about another £30 total (for 3 different size arms). If using wood use HSS. I have bought blanks of Walnut and also Polycarbonate. I like Polycarbonate to work with - which surprised me.

This bloody COVID 19 has had the effect of really sharpening up my DIY skills.
