Steve,
I have visions of your five finders being arrayed on top of your camera
(with those accessory shoe adapters sold by Cosina/Voigtlander) not unlike
a barrage of guns waiting for the order to fire! Almost surreal, certainly
ridiculous! ;-)
And you know that Cosina make a 75mm finder?

You may want to try putting a layer or two of tape under the mount
plate
of the finder to hold it in place.
