I think that connection is illegal though; that part of the plate is very slightly thicker than the gap between the studs, causing the pieces to become damaged over time.
I think you’re right about the plate with studs. On the other hand, I’m pretty sure a tile without studs can be put between studs like that and be legal.
If it has studs on it, it’s probably a plate instead of a tile. But really you shouldn’t restrict your building by what’s “legal”. That just means it wouldn’t be allowed in an official LEGO set — for a MOC it’s totally fine.

That’s correct. Tiles are just slightly thinner than plates, making them legal to insert between studs.
Well, they’re both tiles, so guess I’m fine
