Although Vasquez's lamp was mounted on the metal plate I think Drakes was attached directly to the vest.
Just my two cents on this after some time of comparing multiple photos.
Throughout the movie you see Drake and Vasz lamp (mount) change position and angle.
If you compare the Med Lab scene where the lamp (mounting plate_s_) where further away from the body vs. to the other extreme in the APC (extremely tight to the body) gives a good indication that either a flexible way mechanism was used, or different methods have been used to accomplish this.
I love to see a screen accurate way how to attach the upper mount plate, which is connected with the lamp handle, to the operator’s vest. Keep in mind that its doubtful that the rented steady operator vests have been altered/damaged in order to do this.
