The rods would always wiggle if they were not fixed to the rod ends. I couldn't get away with loose sockets, so I modeled in set screws around the rod holder. There shouldn't be a need for a set screw on both sides of the skewer, but it was easier to model this because all I did was make a copy of the slot and turn it 90° with a hole the size of a #6 screw.
Revised model
I experimented with one of my old models and drilled a hole in the side to drive a screw. Since I didn't want to destroy the model, even though I won't use it, I tightened carefully, and it seemed to hold firmly. The servo horn attachment had room for two pairs of set screws because that is how the model turned out, but it might be necessary to install all of them.
Set screws installed
