No worries
If I remember correctly, my press came with a sheet of paper with the hole spacing and outline of the press' footprint. Just lay the paper on your piece of wood and mark the holes right through the paper.
35 years ago I mounted my press on a 30" long 2"x6" and simply 1) wedged it into the drawer of an end table or 2) clamped it onto the top of the end table. I still have that same 2x6 and still use it, though now it gets clamped to a folding workbench.
To mount it to the board and because I put my gear away between loading sessions. So I use carriage bolts and wing nuts. The board and press go into a toolbox which is not large enough unless I dismount the press. It takes about a minute to set the whole thing up and take it down.
Don't get wrapped up in the gear. Keep thinking about the process.
I am a gear-head, too. But it is the process that is more important to keeping you safe and producing first-class ammunition.
