What are you complaining about? You got 7 screws to hold it on for your money! That's premium!
7 is like a lucky number for fasteners.
Well, that and I tried it on a number of upper/handguard combos, no dice unless I wanted to leave one screw out, it looked dicy with just 6 screws, I was afraid my Simmons Aetec wouldn't hold zero
Be thankful. This saved you from a dumb idea.
If you want a rail like that, get one from White Oak, mount it on the receiver like you're supposed to and put some forward-offset rings on it to get eye relief.
Personally, I'd check the spacing & height specs on some +2" or +3" cantilever mounts and find one that fits your scope.
I use Aero or Warne Cantilever mounts, just thought I'd try to share a Nightforce between a bolt and an AR, dumb idea.
Weaver makes a 20 moa cantilevered riser that seems pretty nice. Only has two fasteners though. May not be as stout as other options. I used one on a 6 arc range toy and like it fine for that purpose. So far it hasn't given me any trouble, anyway.
