Tried and True OR New and Improved? Like is often the case can’t install through wall due to access (between the front and rear centering rings).

have you thought about acme rail guides
It's actually kinda easy to install rail buttons on a rocket between the centering rings. Go get yourself a 1/4" wooden dowel. Drill a 1/4" hole through the body tube but not into the motor mount. Push the dowel into the hole until it bottoms out on the MM tube and mark it. Pull it back out and put a big blob of JB Weld on the tip and some more on the outside of the dowel and push into the hole. After the JB Weld cures, cut off the dowel flush with the body tube, drill a small pilot hole into the center of the dowel and secure the rail button with a wood screw!
Pretty quick and easy and much more secure that the stick on rail guides.

Are your centering rings made of ply? If so, you can just drill into the rings, and, screw them on. Wick some epoxy, or CA into the hole for good measure if you like.
No I really haven't because I have always figured they are more likely to bind. What's your experience/success with them?
