You can't, at least not on both ends of the diagonals.
This is because your mathematics are wrong; the angled plates do not align with
the grid properly.
There are two options:
(1) Stud alignment:
If the stud on end align with the grid, the stud on the other end should be at
a position of 4 studs to the side and 3 studs to the back - not 4 studs to the
back as in your drawing. In this position you can use any plate to fix the diagonal
plate in position. This is the same angle as when you would use the A-shaped
wedge plate. Remember the Pythagoras triangle of 3:4:5.
(2) Corner alignment:
If the corner of the Plate 1x6 is to align with the grid, then the other end
corner should be at a position of 6 positions to the right and 4 to the back
- not 5 on 4. In this position you can use the Hinge Plate 1x4 to connect both
corners.
Neither of above options provide an exact 45° angle and neither matches your
drawing exactly.
A degree of exactly 45° is only mathematically possible if you connect only one
end, or if you use a 1x8 plate and accept a 2% discrepancy on the end. Or if
you use a wedge plate, facet bricks or dedicated panels.
A final option is to connect the angled part using a sliding connection like
a bar in hole.
