Using the stereo PCB mount 1/4" Jack from the MB library and I am just wondering on placement. I want my PCB to be as close the edge of the enclosure as poss but be able to comfortably have the jack in the right place to be able to screw to the enclosure if that makes sense

kind of like this, does it need to be further back on the pcb or what, i know different manufactures make slightly different jack, some have thicker pins etc. I tend to use Tayda parts so im not sure abot the holes in this eagle package.

Easy answer is to get some jacks from Tayda matching your Eagle part, print the Eagle board file at 1:1 scale, and see how it matches up.
