I wonder if this wouldn't work: the wooded brace is mounted horizontally
(say it's a 3" by 5/8" board?) with the rails on the narrow side. You could
use a router to simply cut a channel into the edge of the wood, rather than
drilling individual holes, for the machine screws to set into behind the
rail. Maybe you could even purchase wood with a tongu-&-groove joint prefab,
and just use the channel edge.
