Do you have a small telescope?  It would be easier to mount the camera on that and the small scope can be used as the guide scope.  Lots of telescopes come with a camera screw attached to them.

No I'm using my 300mm F4 prime lens for the time being.

Got it figured out. Ended up buying a cheese plate and a dual screw Arca swiss mount. The dual screw mount is for the lens foot. I then fitted another arca swiss base to the other end and screwed the arca plate to the bottom of the guide scope dovetail.

The EQ5 plate is bolted up through the cheese plate into the dual screw Arca mount. Super solid and all threadlocked.
