Mounting hard drive in TAM bay

My new TAM’s hard drive seems to be failed or failing, and I figured I’d pick up an IDE-to-M.2 adapter and replace it with an SSD. Unfortunately, I didn’t notice the unusual screw locations; as Low End Mac notes, “upgrades may require some modification as the mounting holes in the original drive bracket do not match newer notebook IDE drives”.

It’s really just a PCB I need to put in place, which doesn’t seem like it should be too hard, but I don’t have tools on hand to make a mounting bracket. What have others done for this case?

 
Thick white double sided tape works a dream (the stuff from craft stores, not the thin stuff for paper use)
