Default Transbrake and bump buttons

I'm putting a 4L80e with a brake in my pickup, and using a bump box. Is there any way I can mount the brake and bump buttons on the spokes of the stock steering wheel, as close to the wheel as possible? I don't want to swap wheels if at all possible. Is there a solid point to mount something to under the trim on the spokes? Havent torn into the wheel yet, just wondering if anyone's done this before, before I go and tear something up lol. The arrows in the pic are pointing to where I'm wanting to mount the buttons if its possible. Thanks in advance.

I didn't go with the wheel mounted buttons because I didn't want to have cords wrapped around the wheel. I mounted my 2 buttons, one a latching button to activate reverse and the other the transbrake button in the trim piece under the steering column. Figured at least your hand is near the wheel.

I'm going to be running a Jake's stage 5 trans with their D3 brake.

I don't mind having the cords there. The guys working on it sent me a pic of how they had the buttons mounted, looks good to me. Tbh as long as it whistles to me and hauls ***, I'm not too picky lol
