That's what I want to know... I bought bolts and screws to mount but everywhere on KZfaq is displaying the screw only technique

Bolt and nut? This is rollerskating buddy. People want performance. Also, if you don't drill through the plate, how the hell would you know where to put in the screws?! Also, the plate will be unaligned if people do that!

+IlikeAlotOfThings No shit its rollerskating. If one is looking for a more reliable long term performance plate mounting system it seem using a counter sunk bolt and nut system is more logical from an engineering stand point. Other wise use crappy wood screws with lower tensile strength and prone to loosening, with potential backing out issues, over time as the boot soul expands and contracts due to environmental elements of temperature and humidity. There is also a nifty thing called a fine point Sharpie marking pen. They make easy marks to set up ones drill pattern.

Jeff Morgan The screws aren't wood. Its metal. Also, sunk and bolt will increase the weight of the skates, causing lack of performance. Also, why would you get a mounting system when you could let people mount it for you in a rollerskate shop?

IlikeAlotOfThings yeah my roller plates are sure grips. It’s bolted, has a nut and is welded down on my dance boot. This doesn’t seem that secure...

I completely facepalmed when I saw him drill with the plate still on the boot... completely unnecessary, all you do is risk scratching your plate and damaging your drill bit just to prove to yourself that you don't know how to mark the center of a hole.
