Short Clearance Teensy 4.1 mounting

[Davidelvig]

I found this post in the forum and it's helpful, but not conclusive in my case.
I'm now mounting a "Teensy 4.1 Pins" to my daughterboard as pictured

I'd like to use pluggable sockets instead (to allow testing a daughterboard without soldering a Teensy).
AND I'd like the lowest top-side clearance as possible

@BriComp suggested something like this...

Though it's not clear that it would materially shorten the height.

My daughterboard it pictured here:

Here's the Teensy environment
Current clearance - a shade over 6mm between the daughter board the the overlying part.
I can grow the clearance a bit with enclosure design changes, but only a few millimeters before I'd require our customers to have larger hands!

So... Low clearance, yet removable, yet solidly-connected.

Any ideas?

Are these an option?

2.11 mm clearance. Specification here.

In combination with these kind of pins for the Teensy? Link.

Use a nutsert instead of the “closest overhead part” steel nut?

Or short press-fit header pins? Link.

Smartled shield uses a low profile reverse entry socket mounted on the bottom of the board. The teensy is on the top of the board with the lowest profile available. The thin sockets I use are custom made in China, but I know thicker ones are available off the shelf
