Two Slots alignment

What would be the best way to align a part with two slots that are not in the same axis line (Picture attached).

If B consisted of 2 circles, I'd set X and Y Origin on the left circle and the Planar rotation on the right circle. Then, go into Special and Rotate distance to the +X axis.

See attached.

Since they are slots, one might argue that I need to take the slot orientation into consideration. However, this part is probably being mounted using 2 round screws....

Thanks for your help.
I did exactly what you did and yes, in our headquarters facility they want to take in consideration the slot orientation.

Any suggestion on how to do that?

I've never used Offset Plane but by reading about it, it looks like it could work with a little finagling.

The easiest way to approach this would be to align to a 3D line built from the center points of each slot. How likely is it that the orientation of each slot is not same? Imagine one slot at a 5 degree angle and the other at 10 degrees. If that's possible, how much of a issue would it be?
