It occurs to me that @4DThinker ought to weigh in here.  Maybe there is some CNC magic that could be used here...

    If there is no center marking device that works, but the screw holes are in a uniform grid, some careful layout/measuring/marking on the wall would be my approach.  

    Don't drill any holes until all are marked (with pencil that can be erased) and checked through the plate itself.  I don't know how thick the plate is, or what material it is. 

     

    If you can find a drill bit that fits snugly through the holes, it can be used to mark the center behind the plate.  Give it a finger spin to have the drill bit dig a shallow center divot.

    Mcfeelys has what i think you are looking for. image.png.d89cb312eaf028a42fbbb27de3a0b74a.png

    They have a countersink for this screw. They call it a cabinet makers assembly screw. Countersink is quite a bit bigger than normal screws
