There is no possible way to add another bolt to the mounting. Possibly one could use some innertube or other compressible shim in the mounting plates to create a self-tightening situation but I have not found that necessary.
Vielen Dank! Pletscher sells a mount that sandwiches the chain stays that may or may not come with the kickstand. I'll look into that in conjunction with the inner tube. Another hack I've read about is placing steel washers in the optional rubber feet to prevent the tips of the stand from punching through the bottom.
