Lots of ways to rig up that appear to work just fine. My rig (as bought and still is) has a leather pad on the shelf and faux calf hair side plate. Guess I shoot that till it wears out.

Have to say, shooting with cock feather in has stopped the feather wear problems and the arrow flies beautifly. I sure don't hear the arrow striking to the bow window.

Just for grins, was thinking about dusting the shelf and side plate with baby powder to see where the shaft and feathers are actually touching as they pass by. Might work. If not, maybe some old fashond "Christmas Tree" spray on flock as that stuff has just a bit of sticky to it.
