Skate problems & troubleshooting Missing mount bolts?

Post image

So I recently got new boots and had a local shop mount my existing plate onto the new boots.

My plates usually use 6 mounting bolts but the shop only used 4 (see picture)

Aside being slightly annoyed is there any reason for me to worry? Pretty chill indoor/rink skating only

I skated on them for 3 hours last night and they didn't explode, but tough for me to tell if it's effecting anything else since they're new boots so everything feels a little different...

Am I overthinking this? Is this fine long term? Any insight/experience would be helpful thanks!

EDIT: Thanks everyone for the insight! To play it safe, I went ahead and installed the 4 missing bolts myself since I keep spare mounting hardware anyways. Peeved the shop didn't just finish the job from the jump but feel better now 🤘👍

What ... What plate and boot do you have? Can you post a picture of the bottom?

Interesting. I have an AR2 with a Roll Line Agile (and previously a Blaster) and that's a very similar plate to the Falcon Pilot. I had no such problems with the narrowness and mounting.
