From the back side:
I think that MIG Spot Welding is the best approach for the small numbers. The plate thickness of 5 mm may necessitate two small through plate holes, essentially a plug weld. The holes and weld would be small due to the load requirements. This would be an autogenous weld.
This could possibly be accomplished in a normal spot welder with a little set up.
From the front side:
I have also seen this accomplished with a stud welder(arc) with a special head.

How much distortion can you have in the plate?
Does the plate have any other holes in it?
