You don't mount something like that.
The fingerboard ends up being held by the connector you plug it into!

I would first ask what are you plugging it into and where inside the cabinet it would live and how often will it be connected/disconnected (e.g. are you using it for a control panel swap).

If you are really looking to mount it, I might consider drilling some mounting holes ... you should have plenty of room.
