You have such a large flat surface area there. Design an encoder mount plate of similar size where the end result is also has a flat surface. Rough and clean the back of the motor up, then use a decent polyurethane adhesive to bond it on. During the setup you could use a jig to keep it concentric with the shaft. Design it in such a way that you can still replace the encoder if need be.
