Hard to picture everything you're describing.  Got a pic or two you can share?

Ok here goes...

Here’s the eyelet on the underside of the CP:


And here is the hole I drilled on the bottom of the cabinet:



And here is the eyelet with the hair tie:



When attaching the CP I can thread the hair tie through the hole so it comes out of the bottom (the hole is in the right in the next pic).  Then I pull really hard and loop it around the metal bracket on the left. 



This creates quite a bit of tension on the hair tie keeping the CP in place.

Does that make sense?  I’m wiring now or I would just show the end result.

EDIT:  OK here it is...

vertexguy:
Nice.  Thanks for the details. 8)  That's an interesting solution and I'm surprised the hair tie is strong enough.  Be curious when you get it back together if the CP moves any with rough joystick play.

Yet its still not fixed properly with a hair tie!!

Javery, I was confused by this problem until now as I didn’t realize your bottom panel was glued in place (at least I assume it is).  Why not drill through your two 3/4” braces from the top and through the bottom of your panel.  From the bottom either simply get a long screw to screw in the CP from its underside, or better yet use said screw to mark the location on the CP underside and then install a threaded insert in the CP underside and machine screw from the bottom into the threaded insert.  Make sense?
