Default Mounting Ailerons Servo

I have the Spektrum A6060 servos. Do you just mount the servo right to the wood through the rubber gromets and the 'c ' shaped ears of the case? Or do you make or buy an flange?
Reason I ask is the Sig MK II manual tells me to frame it in such and such away, then shows a pic that looks like it has some type of flange around it.
I can't think of what would make the difference, but thought I'd ask.

You should have self tapping screws, rubber grommets, and brass collets.

Install the grommets, push the brass collets up from the bottom of the grommet with the flange on the bottom, then use the screw to tap a hole, remove the screw and put a drop of thin CA in the hole to harden the thread, then mount the servos.

If you turn the screws till the built in washer touches the top of collet, you get the perfect compression on the grommet

Once the brass is through the rubber, it will hold the rubber in place, Most common mistake guys make is putting the flange on the brass on top of the servo. The flange of the brass should be on the wooded mounting surface.
