You may need to use 2 or even 3 of the sheet metal brackets so you get several grip points around the hole for extra stability. This would allow the neck to stick out however much you want, look more stock, and not rely on pressing that lip against the rubber grommet for tension.

Thank you for taking the time to think about this, and thanks for the sketch. This approach is worth exploring. I think the first thing I'd do would be to make sure the ends of the strap would fit underneath the grommet without causing the grommet to pucker.
