Manfroto 502AH head and Peak Design Anchors

Hi all. I would like to ask if anyone has any idea or suggestion on how to attach Peak Design anchor with Manfroto 502AH release plate or if any such option exsists. I carry the Nikkor 200-500 lens with D850 with the Peak Design shoulder strap, but with the 502AH release plate I don't see any such option to be possible. Any help or advice how you guys handle this situation as Manfroto doesn't use Arcaswiss compatible plates. Thank you in advance.
 
Not sure I understand what you're asking. You want to attach a PD anchor to a Manfrotto plate? The issue of Manfrotto not being Arca Swiss compatible can be solved by mounting an Arca Swiss clamp on the Manfrotto plate.
 
You could try replacing one of the screws with one of these then use the PD anchor attached to a snap hook. Not ideal but doable.
the other option is to drill a hole near one end and another through the adjacent web at 90 degrees. Deburr and round off the edges to stop the cord fraying.

Thank you for reply. Actually the adapter on top of the Manffroto plate is basically only option as I see cross the web. Might try that out. Thank you for the suggestion.
