if you pickups didn't come direct mounted, then the prospect of direct mounting is difficult, at least in RG's, since they drilled out cavities for the pickup adjustment screws to fit in, as you can see in this picture...
notice the holes for the humbuckers have cutouts for both adjustment screws, and the single is flat, it doesn't have holes for adjustment screws, since on an RG570 it was direct mounted... in order to do this properly on a RG like this, u'd have to get pieces of wood, cut them to the shape of the holes, and glue them in place, thus making a flat surface, so that you don't penetrate thru the back of the guitar... it is possible for you to do it without making the plugs, the chances of going thru the back of the guitar with the screw u use are great... i did this on my
neck thru RG, and now i have 2 holes in the backside of the
neck pickup...
