A hold-down plate (500) for securing a first component (104) to a second component (400) having a seal (416) disposed between the first component (104) and the second component (400), includes a support member (502) having a central opening (504). The support member (502) has an outer face (510), and an inner face (512), that are substantially flat. The central opening (504) is surrounded by an inner periphery (508) of the support member (504), and an outer periphery (506). A plurality of guide elements (520) is disposed into each of a plurality of openings (518) formed in the support member (502), each of the plurality of guide elements (520) having an outer wall (522) surrounding a central cavity (524). The support member (502) has at least two distal end points (514), each distal end point (514) disposed between two consecutive openings (518), and at least two non-flat portions (516) formed in the support member (502), each non-flat portion (516) disposed between two consecutive op enings (518).
