It's a bad idea from the mechanical standpoint to secure connector
with only one screw on plastic as inserting the cable will have just
about the correct force vector to break the plastic mounting point.

Certainly "Good Enough" (TM) for DIY, but having a little PCB with
soldered mounting tap underneath would be better. (Me making a
suggestion that trusting SOLDER to hold something in place with force
applied now and then is a reliable... :P )
