Aligning parts

Here's another one which I am sure is an easy task for most but has me frustrated....

 

I have added 4 gussets to my assembly of two parts.  All I am trying to do is to align the gussets 90 degrees apart from each other and starting at 45 degrees on each side of the tapped hole.  I have one almost positioned except it can still move along the surface.  How should I tackle this?

when u finish the first, array out the rest.

 

and if you creat one part insetad of an assembly, the gusset can be rib feature, much eash to creat.

The problem with this issue is not how to do the next 3 but how to secure the one where it needs to go and/or is there a better way than the way I was placing that gusset to be more efficient at it.

You are virtually there, Use a mate constraint from the plane you created to the plane through the center of the gusset then pattern the gusset to get 4 instances at 90 degrees.

Mate the workplane to the central axis.
