The Y axis is heavily laden with weight and is most critical to keep stiff.
Without these plates the Linear rails only are supported by the bottom plate and two screws, the Z axis rods are there as well, but transferring stress to these is not ideal for bed wobble.
Regular T-plates do not fit due to the rail and the Y-stop fixture is over the 2020 by a few mm.
Fit these with M5 10mm screws and T-nuts, use stiff plastic and 100% infill (mine look gloopy due to 1.2 nozzle)
