The RTV might work but I think in addition I would make something or maybe go to the hardware store and see if you can come up with a small decent looking L bracket. Maybe screw it to the box instead of welding and then attach to the firewall. That box has a lot of weight which can move so it might pull the RTV loose. The bracket doesn't have to be in the factory location if the core interferes with a screw in that spot but should be close.

I would not go with a screw from the inside unless you make provisions to access it somehow. If you have something inaccessible from the inside under the pad and plenum if the heater box ever has to come off again it will be quite a project.


EDIT: We think alike. While I was composing my suggestions you had already reached the same conclusions.
