Designing PCBs with board mounted jacks

[JamieJ]

I am planning a utility board build and want to use 6 pcb mounted jacks.

Placement is obviously key to avoid mechanical strain on the joints. With the side of a 125B enclosure being angled - where is the best place to place the jacks in relation to the enclosure? See screenshots below.
I use the 125B template in diptrace.

I'm doing this now as well. I'm thinking the flat plastic part of the jack that the threaded part sticks out from should be flush against the inner wall of the enclosure. The jack should be nutted (smh) onto the enclosure semi tightly so it is secured but still able to be rotated, and then the circuit board should be installed onto the jack while being stabilized at the other end with a switch or pot, then the jack should be soldered in place such that it is allowed to be set at an angle compared to the circuit board. Maybe tack solder at first to see how it's going to sit, adjust as needed, then when it all looks good solder the rest.

The board should be designed in such a way to allow installation and removal to not be too difficult

I would just make sure the shoulder of the jack doesn't interfere with the enclosure screw boss

I'm thinking spin a rev with oversized enclosure holes and use calipers to measure x and y distances from jack thread to enclosure cutout.
