I wanted to put a gold nugget and mango in with my motoros. Plecos are about 3in and rays are about 7in. Will this work?
 
You can try it for now but keep an eye on how they interact.

They trick to keep these sort of pleco/ray is to keep them well feed.
 
It can be done ( i have a green pleco in with the rays atm) just be warned that i had a ray permanently scarred by a crazy pleco .. it left a large circular mouth on its body after rasping it.
 
I'd be more worried about the rays killing the plceos at that size. Make sure that you provide a place for the plecos to hide where the rays cannot get at them.
 
its a risk but at the end of the day what do you love more rays or plecos
 
Keep an eye out on night time activities when the lights are out!!!
