Rack screw can be 10-32, 12-24, M5, M6. And rack rail can be threaded,
round hole, square hole. Too many options.

I know on Cisco switches you could turn the ears around and the holes would
line up so you’d get more switch in front of the rails.

That's a good idea.
If there are not holes, is there a small screw type that is short and
self-tapping?
Not sure the best way to mount the ears if the holes for the ears don't
exist on the switch.

Add mounting ears farther back on the switch.

Subject: [AFMUG] Super long rack screw
This is really specific; don't ask why I need it :)
But I need a standard rack threaded screw that looks like a 6 to 7 inch
long motherboard standoff screw.
So it would stand a 1U switch forward from the 19" rack about 6-7 inches.
I tried standard rack standoff modules, but the space is too limiting.
