Transponder antenna installation

The RAMI installation sheet and website calls for installing the small aluminum nameplate against the aircraft skin before installing the serrated lockwasher and hex nut. Vans leaves it out. It's possible it's intended to make a broader ground plane connection to the skin than is possible with just the lockwasher.

Are people installing it or leaving it out?
