While your design is very simple and robust, it's lack of adjustability seems like it would be a bit of a problem. This design by using button head screw heads for the contacts allows for very simple adjustability for leveling or concentricity. I merely have the screws threaded into holes printed and taped into the plastic. And the plastic holds the screws tight enough to not require any nuts. I also didn't even bother with soldering anything, simply stuck the fine stranded wire into the screw holes before running in the screws. I can adjust the level/concentrisity by changing the height of the screws.
