Bass thumb rests?

Thanks for the advice guys, I think I'm just gonna whack a thumb rest on there. It'll be more comfortable and I'll probably play better and I'm not really concerned with preserving the authenticity of my bass.

So when the thumb rest goes on, it's gonna be there long-term, what's the best position to screw it on there? I was just going to place it parallel to the strings but it seems that on a diagonal slant is the way to go to allow for a variety of different distances which may or may not feel comfortable.

Sorry for being a bass noob and all the questions lately!
