Edit:
I updated the models to v1.1. I reduced the recess for the pan head screw version and increased the surface that the stick mates to to make it stronger.
Original:
I made a mounting plate to use Korean low collar joysticks on a Vewlix panel. It should work for high collar sticks too, but you would need to have a 35mm hole in the control panel for it. I printed it with PET at .20mm with a Prusa i3 mk3s+.
The stick I'm using is a Taeyong Fanta Hemi (https://arcadeshock.com/collections/joysticks/products/taeyoung-fanta-stick-hemi-low-collar). This stick is designed to mount like a JLF with a flat plate which means the plastic body should be roughly 12mm away from the control panel surface for the proper mounting height. I think I got it correct. Tightening the mounting nuts is a little tricky with the joystick body so close to the studs. You might be able to get away with a thin wall socket, or pliers, but I recommend using a wrench.
You will need to get longer 4mm screws that hold the mounting plate and stick together. There's two 3d models, one for pan head screws, and one for flat head recessed screws. Lowes had M4 - .70x30mm pan heads, but no flat heads. I recommend getting flat heads as there will be a little more meat in the print. There's also a separate 3mm spacer to get the proper height. I split it up into two parts so that the print is easier. It can just be printed flat with no supports.
Also if anyone's curious, this is what the iteration process looked like:
