Can you bolt it up with some flat or angle stock that spans the length of the flange?

I have .878” coverage on the m10 flange bolt. The flange of the tank is 3/16”. I thought about adding some support but haven’t gotten that far. What would you use as far as flat stock? Angle would be pointless imo. Some tanks are held in with straps that run along the bottom of the tank and still end up with smaller bolts on either end holding the tank. Any insight is appreciated.
