The bottom plate is a 2x4 laid flat on the subfloor. So it is an inch and a half plate. But the baseboard is sitting on top of your flooring. So there is probably only 3/4 of an inch available to screw into above the floor. You will likely want to screw at an angle down so if you miss the 3/4 inch top of the base plate you can still go down into it. Long screws.
