Tangent Mate alternative

 I am trying to create a joint between a flat part and a round part.  In the below image I used a rigid joint to put locate the bolts in the flat part and used a cylindrical joint to locate them in the shaft.  The flat part needs to be touching the round part tangent to it.

 

I know that I could possibly use the move and align command to get it there but that does not seem like a good solution.  I would like it somehow parametric so if the shaft diameter or part thickness change that everything moves as expected.  I am coming from an SW background and am sure my past experience with mates is leading me down the wrong path.

I will use a sketch point and it will give you the parametric results that you're looking for.
