Gr2 40L with Rucker 4.0 plate holders?

I currently own a Rucker 4.0 and love it for the workouts and carrying some stuff, but I’m looking to upgrade to a bag that can carry more stuff for travel and accommodate the plates if I want.

Has anyone managed to custom a Gr2 through scars like this? Or has anyone found that the laptop pocket is good enough for carrying plates and no customization is needed?

Thank you
