I'm going to prime and paint this center cover as a unit so I went ahead and riveted on the baffle.
Then I added the platenuts. The only rivet difficult to reach was the one on the edge so I just bucked it.
Then I put the platenuts on the fuel selector valve plate. Notice I put them on upside down. I'm using electric trim so this forward triangle piece gets cut off. I was going to try and bend it straight, but my brother suggested to just turn it over and let it fold over the gap. Good idea. I'll cut off all but about a 1/4 inch and this lip will hang over and close up the gap.
Finally, I put the nut plates on the firewall cutout. I couldn't squeeze them either so I just bucked them.
