I've tried it in the proposed position but notice the pan is likely to
end up with a very slight wobble if nothing else is used other than
the original screws when it's fixed to the floor. What solution should
I be checking for to make sure it's a good fix with no gap / rattling
etc?


Ditch the screws and glue it down with silicone.


I've got to fit my bog soon...

This trick of siliconing in: do you sit the loo up on packers (few mm)
while
the silicon sets, then remove the packers and tighten the screws?

Just checking the details...

Cheers

Just a bed of silicone! No screws, no packers, just silicone. Has
worked for two toilets on tile floors so I reckon it's good enough.

I would think that screws have a useful role in locating the w.c - and even
preventing any force from lifting it.
