Here are the alignment guides superimposed to give you a comparison.  As you see the original alignment guide is just a ruler labeled A,B,C, & D with hash mark indicators for 1/2 units. It is interpolated for smaller divisions.  This compares with the Advanced Alignment Guide, (AAG) with a capital letter for each 1/4 unit corresponding to the original alignment guide.

The user’s submitted suggestions were B.25 with the original guide in the bottom key holes.  This would translate to E-1/2 on the AAG, for the horizontal or “X” axis and the vertical height on the line under 6 and above 7, on the “Y” axis.  Again using the depth key positioned in the bottom holes.  There were no more specific mounting instruction so I would clamp the blade as vertical as possible.  Then check the sweet spot with a marker, which is the ultimate indication for proper clamping position.
