Heres a post, one of many, with 2 zipties inserted thru one of the extra strap holes, fastened somewhere on the frame as a backup to the strap attachment:

Locktite is overkill on the 3 mounting nuts, nylocs with maybe a dab of fingernail polish when everything is aligned should be enough.
On the belt cradling in the drive gear, did you notice ANY change when you added the washer behind the gear? There is a concave side to the washer, you want the bulge of the washer pointed outwards.
When doing the frame-mounting rather than axle-mounting, aligning the wheel is easier, but washers OR moving the axlemount INSIDE the frame, on the spocket side, rather than on the outside like your pix show, might be the best bet.
Skip the kill switch til later, but it has to be bent a bit to fit on the handlebars or yoke, which is where I most often put it. Scrape a bit of the finish whereever the kill switch screw touches the metal, else it won't make proper contact.
