I agree. Having the guys on the top plate is a real pain. My first Rohn 25
was like that. It was very frustrating installing a beam with a tram system.
Install a guy ring 4-5 feet down the tower.

Yes I believe that they can be used to secure the guys. I chose not to do
this since it is already cluttered up there and having the guys attached to
the top plate makes working on the antennas more difficult.
The angled down guy anchor points on the top plate made a good point to
secure the coax loop though.
I mounted my top guys several feet below the top plate.

Subject: [TowerTalk] Rohn 45AG4 guy tabs?
I see at least one Rohn 45 seller's web site that calls the tabs on the
45AG4 top plate guy tabs. However I don't see any reference to that in the
Rohn documentation. Except for dimensions Rohn doesn't really say a lot
about the 45AG4. But Rohn always shows the guys attached a few feet below
the tower. So are they guy tabs? I was planning on using them on a tower
with a tall mast (the mast is another subject that will get a post here in
a bit). Guy the tower at the top plate and then not far under the rotator.
Anyone have the scoop on this.
