Do: In the top slot, at 90° to the rail face, put two M5 T-nuts at each end, four in total. In the bottom slot put one at each end, two in total. Nothing in the rail or backer slots.
Check
4 + 2 = six M5 T-nuts. The two singles line up with the through-holes the M5×30 bolts will use from underneath.
Helper Counts the six M5 T-nuts aloud: four in the top slot, two underneath.
What you're looking at
Six M5 T-nuts in two slots of the X beam: four in the top face the XY joints bolt onto, two in the bottom face for the bolts that come up from underneath. They clamp each joint from both sides so it cannot rock.
