Re-Locate Vang Kicker to Port Organizer

[repeating my post in Technical forum]

To AVOID the starboard deck organizer pulling out of the deck, it makes sense to me to move the vang (kicker) block to the port organizer.  This would place each high load (vang and cunningham) on a separate organizer, reducing the load on the starboard organizer.  Questions:
1. Rules: Is this legal?
2. Construction: Are the screws as well reinforced on the port organizer as on the starboard organizer?
3. Need: Is this (organizer pulling out) a common problem or a rare and old-construction flaw?
4. Experience: Has anyone done this, and found it useful or problematic?
