W1-AT Hotswap Build

For a W1-AT build with the hotswap PCB do you need to purchase the "align plate" and is it possible to go plateless with the hotswap PCB or should that be just for the solder PCB?

The align plate is to help align the switches when soldering them in for a plateless build. There will be actual plates available for purchase to use with the hotswap option. While it is technically possible to run a hotswap pcb plateless it isn't advisable since there may be issues with the switches getting loose over time and losing contact.

Ok so for Hotswap I would just need one of the plates listed on the add-ons (PC, POM, Alu etc...)
