Remember to use some kind of thread glue because if screws get loose it can be dangerous for others.

you could get a valve extension and put a smaller hole. otherwise, looks good to me.
how did you mount them different? looks the same to me.
are you using a gauge to see any changes to FE?
BTW, i've read its better to have them protruding like you have instead of mounted flush.

guess it would depend on the size you get but yes, they will need to extend beyond the cover.

or just remove the cover every time you need to check pressures and not use them.
